Lecture, 0.5 hours per week; Lab, 1 hours per week. Pre-requisites: None.The objectives of this course is to systmatically introduce the basic concepts,basic theroies and cut-edge research related to Materials science and engineering. The main content of materials science and engineering major will be introduced to the students through lectures, experiments, discussion and projects. The course will be helpful in students’ further MSE related courses studies, and will provide the students certain background knowledge to materials science research and technologies. The course will lead to a rough understanding of the main content of materials science and engineering major through various lectures, experiments, discussion and projects. The course will provide the students a rather solid background knowledge to materials science research and technologies.
