Course description and aims
[Course description] This course focuses on systematic material design from fundamental to application and covers the reaction-diffusion equations as the basis of systematic material design.
[Course aims] The concept of systematic material design is essential to developing materials and devices useful in practice. Each element material should be integrated systematically by considering the target performance of the final device/system, and the specific optimization of each element material does not necessarily lead to the improvement of the performance of the final device/system. This course introduces reaction-diffusion equations as the basis of systematic material design and then shows applications of systematic material design.
Student learning outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to
1) Understand how systematic material design based on chemical engineering is utilized in the development of advanced materials and devices in the fields of energy and environment.
2) Understand basic concepts and solutions of reaction-diffusion equations, which are the basis of materials design.
3) Understand how to apply the systematic material design to develop actual materials and devices.
Keywords

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
