Special Problems in Materials Science and Engineering
SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY VIRTUAL LABORATORY
Donald R. Sadoway, Patrick E. Trapa
Mon-Fri, Jan 10-14, 18-21, 10am-12:00pm, 4-231
Pre-register on WebSIS and attend first class.
Limited to 20 participants.
Listeners allowed, space permitting
Prereq: Permission of instructor 3.091, 5.111 or 5.112
Level: U 6 units Standard A - F Grading Can be repeated for credit
For undergraduates desiring to carry on projects of their own choosing, which may be experimental, theoretical, or of a design nature. Also for undergraduate studies arranged by students or staff, which may consist of seminars, assigned reading, or laboratory projects. See UROP Coordinator for registration procedures.
Part Laboratory, part educational experiment, this subject will introduce laboratory practice without performing experiments. With the guidance of the professor and TA, students will plan three experiments, search for data in digital libraries, and analyze the results. Skill building will include technical writing and oral presentation including the preparation of effective slides.
Take home final exam

Welding and Joining Processes
Thomas W. Eagar
Schedule: TBD
Pre-register on WebSIS and attend first class.
Listeners allowed, space permitting
Prereq: 3.00, 3.11
Level: H 6 units Standard A - F Grading
Discusses a wide variety of processes and materials from the viewpoint of their fundamental physical and chemical properties. Specific topics: cold welding, adhesive bonding, diffusion bonding, soldering, brazing, flames, arcs, high-energy density heat sources, solidification, cracking resistance, shielding methods, and electric contacts. Emphasis on underlying science of a given process rather than a detailed description of the technique or equipment. Meets with first half of subject 3.371J in Fall Term; videotaped instruction in other terms.
Videotaped instruction with individual meetings to be scheduled with the instructor.

Pre-register on WebSIS and attend first class.
Limited to 20 participants.
Listeners allowed, space permitting
Prereq: 3.185
Level: H 9 units Standard A - F Grading
Thermodynamic and transport properties of aqueous and nonaqueous electrolytes. The electrode/electrolyte interface. Kinetics of electrode processes.
