Basic concepts in materials science, crystals, kinetic theory, heat capacity, thermal fluctuations, Boltzmann equation, x-ray diffraction, crystal imperfections, solid solutions, alloys, mechanical properties, electrical properties, thermal properties, heat transport by thermal conduction, radiation and convection; and applications of these concepts in electrical engineering. Practicum and design based on these topics. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and .5 Tutorial hoursPrerequisite(s): (CHEM 146 or CHEM 114) and (PHYS 156 (taken) or PHYS 155 (taken)). Note:Students with credit for EP 271 will not receive credit for this course.
