A graduate-level learning path covering the thermodynamic and kinetic principles governing phase transformations, with a focus on nucleation, growth, the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation, and coarsening. Learners will develop the ability to model transformation kinetics using advanced calculus and thermodynamic concepts.
This learning path guides advanced undergraduate and graduate students from foundational thermodynamic principles through advanced concepts needed to analyze complex materials. It covers free energy, entropy, enthalpy, chemical potential, regular solution models, and phase equilibria in multi-component systems, emphasizing the rigorous derivation and application of these concepts to real material systems.
This learning path guides undergraduate engineering students through the systematic process of selecting materials for engineering applications. It covers fundamental material classes, mechanical properties, the Ashby method, performance indices, material property charts, design constraints, and economic considerations, culminating in a practical selection project.
This learning path guides undergraduate engineering students through the principles and applications of heat treatment processes. Starting with phase diagrams and transformations, it systematically covers annealing, normalizing, hardening, tempering, quenching, and precipitation hardening, linking each process to resulting microstructures and mechanical properties.
This learning path provides a systematic, advanced undergraduate-level understanding of phase transformations in materials. It begins with foundational thermodynamics and kinetics, covers the core mechanisms of nucleation and growth, and culminates in the interpretation and application of TTT and CCT diagrams. The path also distinguishes diffusion-controlled from diffusionless transformations and connects these concepts to real material behavior.
This learning path covers the fundamental principles of diffusion in materials, including Fick's laws, atomic mechanisms, the diffusion coefficient, and temperature dependence. It applies these concepts to materials processing, assuming basic calculus and thermodynamics knowledge.
This learning path equips undergraduate engineering students with a systematic understanding of how materials degrade, focusing on electrochemical corrosion, oxidation, and environmental degradation. Learners will explore fundamental chemistry and electrochemistry, then progress to prevention strategies such as coatings, cathodic protection, and informed material selection. The path emphasizes causal mechanisms and practical mitigation approaches.
This learning path guides undergraduate engineering students through the fundamental physics of light interacting with materials, covering reflection, refraction, absorption, transmission, and luminescence. It then explores practical applications in photonic materials and optical fibers, providing a solid foundation in optical materials science.
This learning path guides undergraduate engineering students from the fundamental origins of magnetism in atomic physics to the classification and practical application of magnetic materials. It covers the key types of magnetism, magnetic domain behavior, hysteresis, and the distinction between hard and soft magnets, providing a systematic foundation for materials science and engineering.
This learning path equips undergraduate engineering students with the knowledge to classify materials as conductors, semiconductors, or insulators based on their electrical properties. It begins with foundational physics and quantum mechanics, progresses through band theory and charge transport, and culminates in practical classification and application.
