Description
The Kinetics of Materials course delves into the fundamental principles governing the rate and mechanisms of material processes. This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the driving forces behind mass transport, diffusion mechanisms, chemical reactions, coarsening, and nucleation theories. It explores the dynamic aspects of materials, focusing on how they change and evolve over time. Through a combination of theoretical discussions and practical applications, students will develop a strong foundation in the kinetics of materials, enabling them to analyze and manipulate material behavior in various engineering and scientific contexts.
