Orientation - Fall 2005 Course 3 The Curriculum and Careers in Materials Science and Engineering Prof. Caroline Ross Chair of Undergraduate CommitteeThe Curriculum - Fall 2005 3.012 - Fundamentals of MSE (5-0-10) 3.014 - Materials Laboratory (1-4-7) 3.016 - Mathematical Methods for MSE (3-1-8) 3.012 and 3.016 run for 9 weeks only. 3.014 runs for 4 weeks only. Since 3.012 and 3.014 do not run while 3.014 is running, there is no conflict with the meeting times.3.012 is a REST and 3.014 is a LAB and also satisfies CI-M They could be taken separately but it is best to take them together. 3.016 can substitute for 18.03 in our curriculum. It is a 12-unit subject designed for MSE students who wish to learn about the math that is essential to MSE. This covers a range of math topics with emphasis on MSE examples, using Mathematica (R) as a vehicle. To find out more, see the web site:http://pruffle.mit.edu/3.016/ 3.016 can satisfy the computation requirement (one of 3.021J, 3.016, 1.00 or 6.001).Spring Semester and later : required subjects for course 3 (3C is different, see handout) 3.022 Microstructural Evolution in Materials, 3-3-6 3.024 Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Properties of Materials, 3-3-6 3.021J Introduction to Modeling and Simulation, 3-0-9 REST 3.032 Mechanical Properties of Materials, 4-2-6 3.034 Organic and Biomaterials Chemistry, 4-2-6 3.042 Materials Project Laboratory, CI-M, 1-6-5 3.044 Materials Processing, 4-0-8 3.Th.U Thesis, 9-12 units OR 3.930 Industrial Practice,6, plus 3.931 Industrial Practice, 6Elective subjects for course 3 (3C is different, see handout) 3.069 Ceramics Processing, 3.07 Introduction to Ceramics, 3.15 Electrical, Optical and Magnetic Materials and Devices, 3.153 Introduction to Nanoscale Materials, 3.155J Micro/Nano Processing Technology, CI-M 3.14 Physical Metallurgy, 3.046 Thermodynamics of Materials, 3.048 Advanced materials processing, 3.063 Polymer Physics, 3.064 Polymer Engineering, 3.051J Materials for Biomedical Applications, 3.052 Nanomechanics of Materials and Biomaterials 3.072 Symmetry, Structure and Tensor Properties of Materials 3.073 Diffraction and Structure 3.080 Economic and Environmental Materials SelectionCareers Our Department evolved from the original Course 4 (Geology and Mining) offered by MIT in 1865. Students learned about extraction of metals, and primarily joined the mining and metals industries. Through the 1950s, metallurgy (and ceramics) were the strongest part of the Department, and most graduates would have gone into the metals industry. However, in the 1960s, a ‘Materials Science’ subject was offered, and the range of materials studied here expanded to include electronic materials and polymers. Graduates now enter a huge range of industries and careers, and not just those related to materials production. Back in 1974, there were 37 undergrad students majoring in course 3. In 1981 there were 146 (40% women). This year we have about 130 undergrad students (>half women) and 37 faculty.The course 3 catalog page, 1889 (from Metallurgy and Materials Science and Engineering at MIT: 1865-1988, M. Bever)This is what you might have done if you were one of the first MIT undergraduates: Roasting ore in the Metallurgical Laboratory in the 1860sThis is what you might have done in the 1950s and 60s Prof. Kingery demonstrating the measuring gas content in molten metal strength of ice in the Ice LabIn the 2000s, we study a wide range of materials - polymers and biomaterials, electronic materials, ceramics, metals, and diverse applications of all these different materials. We also offer a degree in Materials and Archaeology (3C) which explores the interaction between materials and human societies. In 2003 we started a new undergraduate curriculum, and opened a new laboratory on the Infinite Corridor.
