Desired Outcomes for Students* in the MSE ProgramMSE Program Outcomes 27-750A. The ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, Hphysics, chemistry, materials and statistics to identify,formulate and solve the problems encountered in theproduction or application of a material.B. An ability to apply core concepts in materialsIscience (structure, properties, processing andperformance) to materials engineering problems.C. An ability to communicate effectively. ID. An ability to design and conduct experiments Lwith an emphasis on relating properties and processingto structure.E. An ability to relate materials selection andIperformance to design of engineered systems andcomponents.F. F. An ability to function responsibly and ethically in Ia professional, multidisciplinary environment and as anindividual or as a member of a team.G. An ability to employ the techniques, skills and Htools of modern engineering practice in materialsengineering.H. Recognition of the need for lifelong scholarship. II. A knowledge of contemporary issues. LJ. The broad education necessary to understand the Limpact of engineering solutions in a global and societalcontextH indicates that the course is expected to strongly support the outcome; I indicatesintermediate support; L indicates that the course is expected to have a lesser impact onthe outcome.* This table is directed to undergraduate students but may also be of interest to graduatestudents.
Lecture ScheduleLecturers: A.D. (Tony) Rollett [ADR] at CMU; Peter Kalu [PK] at FAMU/FSUTimetable of LecturesLectures take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays and run from 11:30am to 12:50 for undergraduates, with anadditional section from 12:50-1:20 for graduates students only.CMU Semester starts Jan 10 th ; course at FSU/FAMU will start at the same timeWeek 1Jan. 11 th [ADR] Introduction to Microstructure, including texture (crystallographic orientation):examples of engineering problems involving texture; What is a TextureComponent? Miller indices and Euler angles; orientation as rotation;stereographic projections; Pole Figures;Jan. 13 th [ADR] Mathematics of conversion from Miller indices to a rotation matrix to Eulerangles. Tour of popLA. Example of analysis of a set of pole figure datameasured for a sample of low carbon steel to obtain an orientation distribution(function), using the popLA software package. This will be a hands-ondemonstration with opportunities for students to demonstrate their own use ofthe package. The accompanying homework will require students to use thepackage to generate a “standard set” of plots and other analyses. Students willbe required to refine the defocusing and background corrections in order tooptimize the solution.Homework 1: construction of PFs; projections; application of popLA to a data set provided by theinstructorsWeek 2Jan. 18 th [ADR] Different representations of rotations and orientations, especially matrices, axisanglepairs, Rodrigues vectors, quaternions, axis transformations, active (vector)rotations, relationships between them.Jan. 20 th[Chris Roberts + Jason Gruber] *** Review session (with TAs); X-RAY LAB SESSION TOMEASURE TEXTURE ON STUDENT-GENERATED SAMPLES;Homework 2: practice with popLA to analyze a data set with iteration on the defocusing correction;exercises on locating components, conversion from one representation to another, maps of components invarious spacesWeek 3Jan. 25 th [ADR] Concept of Orientation Distribution; Orientation space; OD maps; Euler angles;discrete vs. functional ODs; Texture Components (review); Groups (elementarytheory for graduate students).Jan. 27 th [ADR] Different methods of representing ODs; Symmetry; Sample vs. CrystalSymmetry; Effect of symmetry on Representation of Texture; square, polarplots;.Homework: analysis of students’ samples’ pole figure data with popLA; conversions of sets of discretedata to intensities in orientation space; calculation of locations in pole figures from texture componentlocations in orientation space.Week 4
