The objective of this pair of courses is to convey some of the essential concepts in materials science and engineering that relate material properties to microstructure in multiphase materials. Powerpoint lecture notes, as well as homework assignments and lab descriptions for both courses are provided.

Microstructure and Properties I (27-301) covers relationships between microstructure and properties, elasticity, fracture, thermal conductivity.
