Chương trình my MOOC "Ten Things Every Engineer Should Know About Materials Science" on the Canvas Network.

Full course description

                                                                                                                                         Self-paced course starts 04/5/2015

We explore “ten things” that range from the menu of materials available to engineers in their profession to the many mechanical and electrical properties of materials important to their use in various engineering fields. We also discuss the principles behind the manufacturing of those materials. This course will contain discussion forums and be self-paced.

Topics covered include:

Thing One: The Menu of Materials Thing Two: Point Defects Explain Solid State Diffusion Thing Three: Dislocations Explain Plastic Deformation Thing Four: Stress vs. Strain Thing Five: Creep Deformation Thing Six: The Ductile to Brittle Transition Thing Seven: Fracture Toughness Thing Eight: Fatigue Thing Nine: Making Things Fast and Slow Thing Ten: A Brief History of Semiconductors

James F. Shackelford

Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, UC Davis

James F. Shackelford has BS and MS degrees in Ceramic Engineering from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at McMaster University in Canada, he joined the University of California, Davis, where he is currently Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science. For many years, he served as the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies in the College of Engineering and later as the Director of the University Honors Program that serves students from a wide spectrum of majors.

Dr. Shackelford also served as Associate Director for Education for the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Center for Biophotonics Science and Technology (CBST) and as Faculty Assistant to the Director of the McClellan Nuclear Research Center (MNRC) of UC Davis. He teaches and conducts research in the structural characterization and processing of materials, focusing on glasses and biomaterials. His current focus in teaching is doing so through online technologies.

A member of the American Ceramic Society and ASM International, Dr. Shackelford was named a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society in 1992, was named a Fellow of ASM International in 2011, and received the Outstanding Educator Award of the American Ceramic Society in 1996. In 2003, he received a Distinguished Teaching Award from the Academic Senate of the University of California, Davis. In 2012, he received the Outstanding Teaching Award of the College of Engineering at UC Davis. He has published well over 100 archived papers and books including Introduction to Materials Science for Engineers now in its 8th Edition and which has been translated into Chinese, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. A Japanese translation is in preparation.
