ENMA411

Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C- in ENMA300; and permission of ENGR-Materials Science & Engineering department. Credit only granted for: ENMA411 or ENMA489I. Formerly: ENMA489I. Demonstrates the role of materials in solving one of the most critical socio-economic issues of our time, affordable and sustainable energy. Materials for Energy is a two-part course based on material functionality; however, they are independent and neither is a prerequisite for the other. Materials for Energy II will focus on electrical, optical, thermal, and mechanically functional materials for energy devices. Solar cells, solar fuel, solar thermal, energy efficient lighting, building energy, thermoelectric and wind energy will be covered.
