Materials and Condensed Matter Option
|
|
Materials and condensed matter, technical areas crossing the boundaries of physics and various engineering disciplines, are of growing importance in all our technical activities ranging from sensor development to space science. Although there is a separate degree in Materials Science and Engineering, students can elect to pursue a concentration in materials and condensed matter from the Applied Physics curriculum. This concentration offers students the opportunity to become well grounded in the principles of physics and then apply this knowledge to study leading-edge topics in materials and condensed matter. To do this, students can complete a combination of courses from the Applied Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering disciplines. The wide variety of courses from these four areas allows students, working with advisers, to structure a program meeting their professional development needs in materials. |
Admission Requirements
Applicants must meet the general requirements for admission to a graduate program outlined in this catalog. In addition, applicants must meet the specific program requirements for Applied Physics (see Graduate Admissions). The special option in Materials and Condensed Matter will be noted on the student’s transcript. Course Requirements
A total of 10 one-term courses must be completed. Students specializing in Materials and Condensed Matter must complete 615.480, Materials Science, plus three of the first six courses listed below.
Additional six courses
Of the remaining six courses, four or more must be from the courses listed below selected from the Applied Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering curricula. Electrical and Computer Engineering
