EG 051 - Materials Science Lab

(1.00 cr.)

A laboratory course that accompanies EG 351. Students perform hands-on experiments and/or analyses of experimental data that help visualize and reinforce basic materials science concepts. Topics include crystallography; mechanical properties determination and computer-based material property correlations; phase diagrams/solidification structures; viscosity of household fluids; and the effect of temperature on deformation/fracture behavior of materials. Emphasizes analysis of results and developing conclusions in response to questions in written laboratory exercises.

Prerequisite (may be taken concurrently): EG 140 ; or written permission of the department chair.
Concurrent Requisite: EG 351 .
