• What are you taking during Winter Term?

    Winter elective for students with interests in physics, chemistry, or ENTS

    Consider taking ENTS 262: Materials Science, Energy, and the Environment during winter term. 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. This year we will focus on materials for energy efficient buildings, materials life cycle assessment, and, if time allows, materials for renewable energy technologies.

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