MSE160: Molecules and Materials
This course will cover both the fundamentals and applications of
molecular chemistry and crystallography as it relates to the
properties of engineered materials. Fundamental topics will include:
(1) the design of chemical structures and their relationship to optical
and electronic properties; (2) the chemistry and physics of covalent
and non-covalent bonding; (3) the relationship of atomic bonding to
molecular geometry and local symmetry; (4) crystal symmetry of
extended solids; and (5) vector and tensor descriptions of materials
properties. Applications to diverse areas of engineering will be
discussed including biomedical engineering, nanotechnology and
materials design.
