For clarification go to Program Goals for Materials Engineering. Lectures are used to emphasize principal points, readings to emphasize more detailed aspects. Examples from applications are highlighted. Homework and examination questions are designed to iterate concepts as well as to assess performance. A term paper is employed to inspire the students to focus on a specialty subtopic.
Evaluation Grading of all examinations and homework is done by the course instructor.
All except the final examination are returned, with limited comments, to the students. The term paper is marked for both technical and language deficiencies. Feedback Feedback is provided by anonymous written evaluation of all aspects of the course by the students at the conclusion of the course.
