Drawing on chemistry and physics principles, this course will focus on the relationship between the structure and physical properties of materials, how materials science can address environmental and energy challenges, and the technological and societal impacts of materials development. Topics to be covered will vary from year to year, but may include material life cycle assessment, traditional plastics and biodegradable alternatives, materials and technologies for solar energy conversion, and the role of materials in developing energy efficient buildings.

This course meets during 3A, and counts toward the applied physics requirement for the physics major. Contact Melissa Eblen-Zayas if you have any questions.

October 30 (Tuesday) noon-1pm, Olin 04
