MATR 14204 - Materials Science: Materials Laboratory

This laboratory is an introduction to scientific methodologies and developing conceptual understanding of materials. The laboratories are discovery based and will focus on major themes: Structure of materials and material properties, Conduction (electrical and thermal), Tribology (friction, wear and lubrication), and Diffraction (acoustic, optical and X-ray).
