ENGG 324 Microstrip Lines and Circuits<br />

(Cannot be used to satisfy any A.B. degree requirements)<br />

Offered: arrange<br />

Analysis <strong>of</strong> transmission structures and circuit elements at microwave frequencies.<br />

Microwave network representation. Characterization and sensitivities <strong>of</strong> transmission<br />

structure. Discontinuities. Two-dimensional planar components. Models for<br />

microwave semiconductor devices. Microwave networks.<br />

Prerequisites: ENGS 61, ENGS 105, ENGS 120, and permission <strong>of</strong> instructor<br />

Instructor: Trembly<br />

ENGG 332 Topics in Plastic Flow and Fracture <strong>of</strong> Solids<br />

(Cannot be used to satisfy any A.B. degree requirements)<br />

Offered: arrange<br />

Advanced study may be pursued on topics related to the microscopic aspects <strong>of</strong> the<br />

plastic flow and fracture <strong>of</strong> solids. The topics extend those introduced in ENGS 130<br />

and ENGS 132 by providing an in-depth examination <strong>of</strong> the methods <strong>of</strong> strengthening,<br />

brittle and ductile fracture, fatigue, creep, and superplasticity. The emphasis is<br />

on the mechanisms underlying the phenomena. Readings in the literature will be<br />

assigned, and the student will be required to prepare a detailed term paper.<br />

Prerequisites: ENGS 130, ENGS 132, and permission <strong>of</strong> instructor<br />

Instructor: Frost<br />

ENGG 339 Advanced Electron Microscopy<br />

(Cannot be used to satisfy any A.B. degree requirements)<br />

Offered: arrange<br />

Image formation and contrast are discussed for the transmission electron microscope,<br />

using both kinematical and dynamical theory. Image simulation methods are outlined<br />

and the information from a variety <strong>of</strong> diffraction methods, such as CBED, are<br />

described. Various analytical techniques such as electron energy loss spectroscopy<br />

and x-ray fluorescence, including advanced techniques such as ALCHEMI, are covered.<br />

Emphasis is placed on the applications, resolution, and theoretical and practical<br />

limitations <strong>of</strong> each technique. There are several laboratory sessions, each requiring<br />

a report.<br />

Prerequisite: ENGS 133 or permission <strong>of</strong> instructor<br />

Instructor: I. Baker<br />

ENGG 365 Advanced Biomaterials<br />

(Cannot be used to satisfy any A.B. degree requirements.)<br />

Offered alternate years: 12W: arrange<br />

This course will focus on the interface between the host and implant with greater<br />

emphasis on the tissue reaction to metals, ceramics, polymers, bioceramics, and<br />

biopolymers than on the effect <strong>of</strong> the host environment on the materials. Ion release<br />

concerns, wear particle reactions, and the potential toxic properties <strong>of</strong> the salts <strong>of</strong><br />

implant metals will be analyzed. The cells and cellular reactions available to the host<br />

will be evaluated in detail.<br />

Prerequisites: ENGS 165 and permission <strong>of</strong> instructor<br />

Instructor: Van Citters
