Course: Tailoring materials properties by engineering their microscopic/macroscopic structures
via processing is central to product design and development in the chemical industry. This course
introduces the principles of materials engineering from the perspective of structure-propertyprocessing relationships. Instead of covering different types of materials separately, this course
will use the principles common to engineering of all important materials as an underlying theme.
These are atomic/molecular structure, nanoscale, morphology, principles of phase
transformation, structure development during processing, and property dependence on structure.
All these topics will be introduced through the paradigm of comparing metals, ceramics and
polymers. Besides single component systems, advanced materials such as multiphase and/or
multi component systems, (e.g. composites and gels) and nano materials will be discussed based
on these principles. An integral part of this course will be the criteria for selection of materials
for the chemical process industry.
Pre-Requisites: Chem 236, (or Chem 235), Mech 320 (can be taken as co-requisite).
Withdraw Deadline: November 2, 2015
Homework: Homework assignments will be given; collected and graded. The assignments will
be emailed to the class. Solutions to the problems will be posted in the NJIT Library.
Exams: There will be three exams and one final exam.
