Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)E7780: Materials Gone Wrong! in Splash Fall 2022 (Dec. 03 - 04, 2022)
This course will explore Materials Science Engineering and Nanotechnology concepts using one of the coolest chemicals on campus- liquid nitrogen! Students should come prepared for several interactive science demos as we explore what it means to be a Materials Scientist, how engineers design and create new materials atom by atom, and what happens when you freeze materials to very, very, very cold temperatures.
E7676: Got Nature? Biomimicry Does! in Splash Virtual Fall 2021 (Nov. 13 - 14, 2021)
Scientists and engineers are tackling pressing problems in our world from clean water, disease detection, to more efficient batteries. Who better to look toward than nature for answers? This class explores biomimicry concepts that inspire new materials and the nanotechnology tools needed to build and characterize them. Come join us for a deep dive into superhydrophobicity and remote use of a Scanning Electron Microscope!
