A) What Type of Course is this?(Check one):  Required /
Elective /
Selected Elective
B) Course Description (required) :
The basic atomic and electronic structure of solids.
Bonding, imperfections and diffusion.
Dislocation theory, deformation and fracture.
Entry for B above was taken directly from what is in the official UW course catalog. We have an
opportunity here to update what is in the official course catalog to match what is in current
syllabi en mass. If you would like the catalog description updated, entry the modern description
below and click “revise to.” The College APC and the Divisional Committee will consider these
revisions in one fell swoop this spring
OK as is above

Revise to:
Introduction to: atomic, electronic, and defect structures in materials; diffusional, mechanical
and electrical properties of materials; and the role of structure and defects in diffusional,
mechanical, and electrical properties
C) ABET Outcomes to Be Covered (required) (check ALL that apply): Check all outcomes
that you are covering in your class. For this exercise here, it is not necessary that you are
measuring achievement of this outcome in your class, rather only that the material you are
teaching helps students achieve these outcomes by the time they graduate.

Students shall be able to apply knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, physics,
and materials science and engineering principles to materials and materials
systems
Students shall be able to design and conduct experiments to study the
microstructure, properties, processing and performance of materials and to
analyze and interpret the experimental results
Students shall be able to design materials and processes to produce them to meet
desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental,
social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and/or sustainability

Students shall be able to work in multi-disciplinary teams and provide leadership
on materials related problems that arise in multi-disciplinary work
Students shall be able to identify materials-related problems and formulate plans
to solve such problems
Students shall have an understanding of the professional and ethical
responsibility
Students shall be able to communicate materials concepts effectively through
written reports, oral presentations, and discussion
Students shall have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of
materials science and engineering solutions in a global, economic,
environmental, and societal context
Students shall have the materials science and engineering foundation needed to
succeed in materials science and engineering graduate programs, to pursue other
forms of continuing education in materials science and engineering, and to
engage in life-long learning of materials science and engineering
Students shall have an awareness of contemporary and cultural issues
Students shall be able to use the techniques, skills, and modern materials science
and engineering tools necessary to practice materials science and engineering as a
professional
D) Default Specific Course Outcomes (required): These are things in addition to A-K above
that would appear in your syllabus on opening day as the things you want the students to learn,
for example, for MSE 360: hands-on skills in quantitative metallography. You might list three or
four and they might look like technical in nature and should be consistent with the course
description.


Fluency in the materials disciplinary vocabulary used to describe crystal structure,
microstructure, structure of amorphous materials, phase diagrams, and mechanical, electrical,
and diffusional properties
Fluency and breadth in foundational tools of materials science and engineering as a base for
subsequent courses
( I took this off a slide from the first day of class)
E) Textbook (required): Give title, author last name(s), edition
Callister, W.D. and D.G. Rethwisch, Jr., Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering:
An Integrated Approach, New York, Wiley and Sons, 2008
F) Supplemental Material (optional): for example lecture slides available on eCOW2 course
home page; lectures available on UW media site for MSE 351; or
Captured lectures available to stucents on CoE Mediasite
Lecture slides available to students on eCOW2 Course Homepage
G) Brief Topics to be covered in Addition to B) and any Additional Information (required):
for example, field trip to local manufacturing plant is required.
Crystallography and Crystal Structure
