This lecture provides the basics for students studying materials science and engineering. This course aims to understand the mechanical properties of materials and their applications performing various experiment and study, which constitutes the hardness, tensile, bending, and impact tests.

Thermodynamics is built on the study of energy transfers that can be strictly resolved into heat and work in field of metals/ceramics/energy and electronic materials. Its contents are composed of thermodynamic basic concepts/laws, phase transform and diagrams, phase equilibrium of gas/solution/solid, and electrochemistry for materials engineer.

This field study is aiming to create new high strength materials, high corrosion resistance material and high temperature materials. In particular, we are introducing in the mechanism of advanced metallic and ceramic materials through thinking of theory and phenomena of thermodynamics, diffusion, interface, nucleation and phase transit phenomena etc. The coupling of structural inspiration with nano-scale design can lead to enhanced materials properties for demanding applications. We are demonstrating that the themodynamic and nano -scaled inspired materials are suitable for applications such as high strengthened materials, high magnetic materials and advanced functional metallic and ceramic materials for next generation.

This course covers team projects and designs, the experimental analysis work and presentations for the basic understanding of improvement of creativity as a material scientist. This course carry out the experimental analysis work by student group with term project in consultation with a faculty member. Experimental techniques and analysis of materials through a materials analysis and characterization techniques; crystallography, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, XRF, FT-IR, ICP, Raman, DSC, TG-DTA etc. The objective of this course is to achieve a knowledge and understanding of a wide variety of analysis and characterization involving materials.

This lecture covers the physical meaning and the calculation of stress and strain in elastic and plastic deformation of materials. It also presents the understandings of dislocations, and the strengthening and failure mechanisms of materials.

This course is a graduation project by using all knowledge of student. The design project is carried out the co-working of student team under supervising of professor.

Investigation of physical phenomena occurring in metal materials and teaching recrystallization, histology, mechanical properties, such as the study of the causes for new symptoms.

This course explores new issues and techniques in mechanical behavior (i.e., deformation, fracture, fatigue, creep and so on) of materials. Topics covered include recent researches on mechanical behaviors of metals and ceramics. The related theories on elasticity, dislocation, plasticity, and defects are closely reviewed as well.
