Undergraduate Prerequisites: (CASPY313) or equivalent, and CAS MA 225 or CAS MA 226 - Signals and systems is highly recommended. This course provides an in-depth analysis of solid-state physics as it pertains to materials science and electrical engineering applications. Students will develop an understanding of the theory of crystal structures and their determination via diffraction, as well as the thermal, electrical, and optical properties of materials that arise from these structures. Same as ENG MS 577. Students may not receive credit for both.
