MMAT 243, Introduction to
Structure, Properties, and Processing of Materials I. First semester, 3
credits. Co-requisites: CHEM 128, MATH 116. Not open for credit to
students who have passed MMAT 201. Open to sophomores. Principles underlying the selection of materials and the
characterization of micro- and atomic structure will be introduced, with
emphasis on atomic and molecular structure, crystallography, solid solutions,
binary phase diagrams, mass transport, cross linking, entanglement, and the
relation of microstructure to properties |

Homeworks:
All homeworks will be posted only
on the class web site:
http://www.ims.uconn.edu/~alpay
Homeworks will consist of 3-4 problems.
Homeworks will be accepted a maximum of one week late but they will receive a
maximum grade of 50 %. Remember that the exams draw heavily from homeworks.
Solutions of the homeworks will be posted on the course web site.
Exams:
All exams
will be closed book and notes. Bring calculator and ruler to all exams.
Pertinent data, tables, and values for physical constants will be provided.
Formulas will NOT be provided. You are expected to remember key formulas. All
Quizzes will be held during the class and will last 75 minutes. Study guides
will be provided before each Quiz.
The final
exam will be an open book, take-home exam. It will be made up of questions
covering ALL the subjects covered during the semester.
If you miss
a Quiz without either a certified medical excuse or prior instructor approval,
you may take a make-up exam near the end of the semester. One make-up test will
be given. If you have certified medical excuse or prior instructor consent, the
instructor will deal with you individually.
