UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science EMS 180: Materials in Engineering Design Syllabus (continued) Grading: Homework (~ seven homework sets) Midterm Exam (Wednesday, May 16) Final (Thursday, June 4, 3:30-5:30 PM) Materials Selection Project 15% 25% 35% 25%

Course Outcomes: 1. An ability to function on a multi-disciplinary team. 2. A knowledge of contemporary issues. 3. An ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. 4. An ability to apply and integrate knowledge from the four major elements of the field (structure, properties, processing, and performance) to solve materials selection, and design problems. 5. An ability to utilize experimental, statistical and computations methods consistent with the program educational objectives. Course Policies: 1. Homework must be dropped off in the homework box in 2131 Kemper Hall by 5 PM on the date due. No late homeworks will be accepted. 2. No makeup exams will be given. Missed exams will be prorated, provided the absence was due to illness documented by a physicians statement. 3. Unless you are instructed otherwise, you may discuss homework problems and term project topics with other students in the class, but submitted work must be your own. The UC Davis Code of Academic Conduct will be strictly enforced (see http://sja.ucdavis.edu/cac.html). 4. It is expected that students will abide by the UC Davis Principles of Community (see http://principles.ucdavis.edu/). Tentative Course Topics
Introduction to materials selection and design Materials categorization and properties Materials selection Contemporary issues related to materials selection Eco-design and life cycle assessment Processing methods and categorization Process selection Process economics
