Course description and aims

This course aims to teach the basics of quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics of atomic interactions, and explain its relation to the material properties of metallic materials, semiconductor, insulator, polymer, ceramics etc.

Student learning outcomes

After studying this subject, the students should be able to:
1. acquire the basic knowledge of atomic/molecular interactions in engineering materials which is very essential in determining the material properties.
2. apply their knowledge to select material properties, understand how they can be manipulated, and determine what processes that best meet the requirement of an engineering design.

Course taught by instructors with work experience

✔ Applicable How instructors' work experience benefits the course
Prof. Cross has work experience in a Japanese corporation as a researcher

Keywords

Quantum mechanics, stastitical mechanics, crystal structures, material properties

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This lecture is focused on understanding of mechanisms of material properties based on the principle (natural law). For the logical understanding, exercises are held at the beginning of lecture, in order to confirm the contents of the previous lecture. Understanding in the class is significant for the further understanding.

Course schedule/Required learning
