Materials Science and Engineering 605
Principles of Materials Science
Catalog Data:
A quantitative survey of processing, structure, and properties relationships in engineering materials. U G, 4 cr hr, 2 2-hr lectures. Offered AU Qtr.
Prerequisites:
Not open to MatSc&En, Met En, Cer En undergrad majors.
Time and Place:
2-1:18 minute lectures per week
Objectives:
This course is an advanced quantitative survey of the key principles that govern engineering materials. At the end of this course students should understand in a quantitative fashion how materials processing affects microstructrual development and how microstrucure affects properties. This course is intended as a transition course for students with a strong technical background who would like to begin advanced studies in materials science and engineering. As a result it is a survey where breadth is emphasized over depth.

Review and Final
Academic Integrity, Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct may be found in any action that tends to distort the accurate assessment of any student’s individual accomplishments that are evaluated for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit. Note that a student may be guilty of academic misconduct, for example, by cheating, collaborating, plagiarizing, or by allowing another student to cheat, collaborate, or plagiarize. Note also that the distortion applies, for example, to exams, homework assignments, and laboratory work. To the extent that any class activity (for example: attendance or participation) is used for evaluation for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit, falsifying or distorting such activity, or permitting another student to falsify or distort such activity, represents academic misconduct.
Additional guidance about what represents academic integrity and misconduct, and related university-wide policies and procedures are available at the following locations:
http://oaa.osu.edu/coam/faq.html
http://oaa.osu.edu/coam/ten-suggestions.html
Course-specific exceptions or amplifications to the departmental and university statements outlined above will be provided by the faculty instructor in writing, preferably as part of the course syllabus.
Note: Students should not request nor accept guidance on these matters from a teaching assistant, fellow student, or anyone other than the faculty instructor of record for this course.
Disabilities Statement
Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the Office for Disability Services at 614-292-3307 in room 150 Pomerene Hall to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities. (URL: http://www.ods.ohio-state.edu/)
Advice on such matters is also available from the MSE department’s undergraduate adviser (1xx-6xx courses) and graduate coordinator (7xx-9xx courses) whose offices may be found in room 477 Watts Hall.
