MSE489 : Materials Processing Design The design of production
and refining systems for engineering materials. Design of
problems for the extraction and refining of metals, production
and processing of ceramics, polymeric materials, and electronic
materials. Written and oral presentations of solutions to
processing design problems. Cognizant Faculty: Kieffer, Laine,

Design Equations Transient Response and Controller Design In the
course of the semester, the students learn to: - Analyze and
evaluate global and personal energy demands and usage patterns.
- Learn the mechanisms and physical principles governing energy
conversion. - Estimate the energy generation and storage
potential of a wide range of materials. - Use quantitative
methods to analyze existing technology and identify
environmental, economic, and societal impacts. - Ide
