MEEG2303 - Introduction to Materials
The objective of this course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the behavior of materials. Lectures introduce the concept of material microstructure at different length scales and emphasize the importance of microstructure on material properties and performance. Considerable focus is placed on traditional engineering materials (e.g. metals) with secondary focus on polymers, ceramic and semiconducting materials.

MEE5033 - Advanced Mechanics of Materials
The objective of this course is to provide students with a deeper understanding of the material covered in a first course in mechanics of materials and build upon the elementary concepts and processes that have been mastered. Practical stress analysis problems will be covered ranging from those resembling simple models that have closed form solutions to complex problems that are not easily adaptable to classical techniques.
