MSE 165CL "Laboratory in Materials Kinetics and Phase Transformations"
Course topics include the practical application of the kinetics of solid state reactions, reactions at interfaces, and the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformations to common materials systems. Serves as the laboratory complement to the 165C Materials Kinetics and Phase Transformations lecture course.

MAE 256 "Nanomechanics"
This course will provide an introduction to nanoscale materials and the novel experimental and computational techniques used to measure their properties. Mechanical behavior will be the main focus in this course, but other material properties will also be discussed. Topics to be covered include forces and surface interactions at the nanoscale, structure-property scaling laws, tribology and friction, materials synthesis techniques, small-scale mechanical testing, and atomistic/multiscale computer modeling.
MAE 259 "Mechanical Behavior of Solids: Atomistic Theories"
This course will cover the microscopic mechanisms that control the mechanical behavior of materials. Plasticity, creep, shear banding, and fracture will be addressed through a discussion of how such behavior is measured and modeled. Subjects to be covered include dislocation theory, strengthening mechanisms, high temperature diffusion and grain boundary sliding, shear localization, void formation, ductile rupture, and brittle fracture.
