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. 1 MSE160: Molecules and Materials Marks and Performance Evaluation 25 % Quizzes (in tutorial) 37.5 % Mid-Term Exam (Days 1 to 18) 37.5 % Final Exam (Days 20 to 38) Mid-Term Exam Tuesday February 25, 9-11am General Policy General policy: Students in MSE160 can only attend and take quizzes in the section in which he/she is enrolled.
