Enhancement of a Material Science and Engineering Program by the Acquisition of a X-ray Sedigraph

本项目对几个实验课程进行了改造，并开发了一门新的粉末冶金实验课程，以形成一种统一的方法来教授机械工程师先进材料的使用和加工。获得x射线记录仪完成了材料科学与工程计划的实验室设施建设，以加强其本科课程。该计划的目标是使材料加工回归到材料工程范式中加工、结构、属性三角的平等地位，并使我们的本科课程更好地侧重于机械工程师的教育。增强型实验室也用于统计学课程。

The project revamps several laboratory courses and develops a new laboratory course in powder metallurgy to produce a unified approach to teaching advanced materials use and processing to mechanical engineers. The acquisition of a x-ray sedigraph completes the laboratory facility development for the material science and engineering plan to enhance its undergraduate curriculum. The goals of this plan are to return materials processing to an equal leg of the processing, structure, property triangle that is the materials engineering paradigm, and to better focus our undergraduate curriculum on the education of mechanical engineers. The enhanced laboratory is also used in a statistics course.
