USNA238 (3): The Role of Materials in Emerging Technologies
Description:
The development of engineering applications is, and has historically been, closely related to the development of new engineering materials. In fact, specific civilizations and time periods in the past are classified by the materials used for engineering applications, e.g., the Bronze Age. This university seminar will examine the role of materials developments in the past, as well as explore the needs and impact of new materials in emerging technologies; areas of focus will be (i) Power generation, transmission and storage, (ii) Electronic devices and electronic applications, and (iii) Biomedical engineering and medical imaging applications. Prereq: FSCC 100 or equivalent.
