A) What Type of Course is this?(Check one): Required /
Elective /
Selected Elective
B) Course Description (required) :
Basic principles of fluid flow, heat transfer and diffusion are introduced.
Examples relevant to design and processing of materials including metals, semiconductors,
glasses, polymers, and ceramics are given.
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

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.
Dept ABET Description
Students shall be able to apply knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, physics,
 A
a and materials science and engineering principles to materials and materials
systems

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.
Students shall have an understanding of practical considerations for how mass, energy, and fluid
transport phenomena affect the processing, synthesis, and growth of materials
Students shall be able to analyzing transport problems using basic principals
Students shall be able to solving transport problems using numerical/computational approaches
E) Textbook (required): Give title, author last name(s), edition
Transport Phenomena in Materials Processing, Kou (first name Sindo), 1st edition
F) Supplemental Material (optional): for example lecture slides available on eCOW2 course
home page; lectures available on UW media site for MSE 351; or
Supplemental readings, course grades, homework assignments, homework solutions, and lowstakes quizzes will be available online via eCOW2 at ecow2.engr.wisc.edu
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.
Charge transport phenomena will be briefly covered.
In addition to solving transport problems “by hand” using basic principles, students will learn to
use the COMSOL multiphysics software package to numerically solve transport problems.
