  A bi monthly seminar course in which selected recent literature pertaining to materials used for dental and craniofacial therapy will critically analyzed.
• SDM RS 820: Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering Analysis
  This course will discuss the characterization of materials structure, mechanical and physical properties. Atomic structure evaluation by x-ray diffraction, electron diffraction; microstructure evaluation by scanning and transmission electron microscopy; principles of analytical electron microscopy using EDS; study of chemical and bonding states by EELS, Raman spectroscopy and XPS/ESCA; non-destructive evaluation of mechanical and surface properties of materials. FTIR, hardness, strength, toughness and fatigue analysis testing, and color analysis will be reviewed.
• SDM RS 821: Materials Science and Engineering
  An introductory graduate level course in Materials Science and Engineering. The basics of why materials behave the way they do. It covers topics such as atomic bonding, why and how solids form and their structures, phase transitions, phase diagrams, electronic/magnetic/optical/thermal properties of materials, materials processing and how it influences their properties, ceramics, polymers, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and glasses.
