MAT 680 Selected Topics in Materials Science I: Interfaces and ...

Behaviorand DesignPropertiesStructureENS 205 Introduction to Materials ScienceIntended Audience: An introductory undergraduate level course for all interested FENS students; this is a core elective for BIO, MAT, MEand MS programs.Scope: To provide the fundamentals of how interactions and structure at the atomic scale lead to material properties observed at themacroscopic scale and to introduce the fundamental thermodynamic/kinetic concepts operating on the structure for the design andimplementation of materials with novel functions.Aims: To equip the students with a basic understanding of “materials science” so that they can (i) relate the atomic scale interactions to thestructure of the material observed at the macroscopic scale; (ii) interrelate the mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic and optical properties ofmaterials; (iii) explain the phase behavior and how thermodynamics and kinetics may be used to manipulate the observed phases; (iv)differentiate between novel materials such as polymers, ceramics, composites based on their properties.Instructors:Canan Atılgan – office: 2058; phone: 9523; e-mail: canan@sabanciuniv.eduBahar Burcu Karahan (A1) – office: 2107; phone: 2079; e-mail: baharburcu@sabanciuniv.eduEzgi Dündar Tekkaya (A2) – office: 2107; phone: 2079; e-mail: ezgidundar@sabanciuniv.eduElif Özden Yenigün (A3) – office: 2102; phone: 2111; e-mail: elifozden@sabanciuniv.eduMariamu Kassim Ali (A5) – office: G062; phone: 2071; e-mail: kassimali@sabanciuniv.eduKaan Bilge (A4&A6)Undergrad TAs:– office: 2102; phone: 2111; e-mail: kaanbilge@sabanciuniv.eduSalih Ağar (phone: 4274, dorm: A1-105; salihagar@sabanciuniv.edu)Gökay Avcı (phone: 6012, dorm: B8-010; gokayavci@sabanciuniv.edu)Hours: Lecture – W 10:40 – 12:30 (FENS G032); F 10:40 – 11:30 (FENS G032)Recitation – R 9:40 – 10:30 sections A1-A5R 15:40 – 16:30 section A6Office – Canan Atılgan:TBABahar Burcu Karahan: TBAEzgi Dündar Tekkaya: TBAElif Özden Yenigün: TBAMariamu Kassim Ali: TBAKaan Bilge:TBATextbook: Introduction to Materials Science for Engineers by J.F.
