SAMPLE PROPOSED REVISION TO OPTION COURSES FOR THE MATERIALS SCIENCE OPTION
These changes are not yet approved but will be accepted by chemistry because engineering departments have dropped or changed some courses currently specified in the option such that students cannot take exactly what is currently specified.
OLD (Current) MATERIALS SCIENCE OPTION (33-34 cr)
| CHE 444 | Thin Film Materials Processing (3) |
| CHE 445 | Polymer Engineering and Science (4) |
| ENGR 322 | Mechanical Properties of Materials (4) |
| ME 481 | Thermodynamics of Solids (3) |
| MTH 256 | Applied Differential Equations (4) |
| Select one of the two following courses: | |
|
CH 445 Physical Chemistry of Materials
(3) or ENGR 321 Materials Science (3) |
|
| MATERIAL SCIENCE ELECTIVES--Select three courses from below: | |
| CH 401, CH 413, CH 448, CE 321, CE 322, ECE 317, FP 318, ME 482, ME 485, or PH 475 | |
