MSE 102: Bonding, Crystallography, and Crystal Defects

Course Description

This course covers bonding in solids, classification of metals, semiconductors, and insulators, crystal systems, point, line, and planar defects in crystals. Examples of crystallographic and defect analysis in engineering materials and their relationship to physical and mechanical properties will be presented.

Course Objectives

The purpose of this course is to:

• Identify and describe the types of bonding found in materials
  
• Develop the language to describe crystal structures and their symmetries
  
• Identify and describe the different types of defects that are found in real crystal structures
