CAMP 268

 

 

 

Instructor:

David Morrison, Associate Professor of MAE

205 CAMP, 268-6585

 

Office Hours:

Tuesday and Thursday   11:00-12:00 and 1:00-3:00

Other times by appointment

 

Textbook:

Physical Metallurgy Principles, Reed-Hill and Abbaschian

 

Prerequisites:

ES 260, Materials Science

 

Class Schedule:

Tuesday, Thursday   9:30-10:45

 

Objectives:

To provide students with an introduction to physical metallurgy.  Topics include structure of metals, diffraction techniques (X-ray, SEM, TEM), dislocation phenomena, diffusion in solids, precipitation hardening, nucleation and growth, solidification, and phase transformations in solids.

 

Learning Outcomes:

Outcome 1:  Students will have a fundamental understanding of metallic  material  structure-property-processing  relationships. [1-4] (2, 5)

Outcome 2:  Students will have an understanding of methods to analyze the structure of metallic materials  [1-4] (2, 5)

Note:  Assessment methods are listed below and are shown above by [ ].  MAE program outcomes supported by each learning outcome are shown above by ( ).

 

Assessment:

[1]  Midterm  100 Points (March 4)

[2]  Homework assignments:  100 Points  (5 at 20 points each)

[3]  Final exam:  100 Points

[4]  Class preparation/participation:  50 Points

 

Homework:

Accomplishing the homework assignments is an important element in learning the concepts presented in the course.  Homework must be submitted by 4:00 pm on the day homework is due.  You should consider your homework as a reflection of your professionalism. Therefore, it must be neat, complete, and reflect a logical solution method.  Homework that does not follow these guidelines will not be accepted.

 

Exams:

The midterm and final exams will be closed book/notes. Exams must be taken at the scheduled time.

 

Attendance:

Regular attendance is essential if you are to learn the course material.  Class attendance will be taken.
