Mechanical & Industrial Engrg 612 - Metamaterials

Structuring of materials at the micro-/nano-scale has become a standard method for creating optical, thermal, acoustic, and mechanical properties, which are not possible by traditional stochastic material processing. The new materials created by the deliberate control of their structures have been called ?metamaterials? and will play a critical role in developing future high-performance materials. The course aims to provide multidisciplinary knowledge for understanding metamaterials with selected applications. This course will be beneficial for graduate students who want to learn these latest advancements in materials science and mechanical engineering without particular prerequisites.

Open to graduate students in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials Science & Engineering. Instructor consent is otherwise required.
