  25. Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Materials are evolving today faster than at any time in history. Industrial and academic sectors regard the development of new and improved materials as an “underpinning technology”, which can stimulate innovation in all branches of engineering, making po
  26. What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? This course is designed to serve as:

    1. a required introductory course for the Cert. in Materials Science and Engineering, and

    2. serve as a foundation course for the devolping Masters degree program in Materials Science and Engineering.
