Kinetics in materials engineering involves how a system approaches equilibrium, i.e. microstructural evolution: diffusion equation, diffusion in the atomic level, diffusion in crystals and and noncrystalline materials, surface and interface structure and formation, motion of dislocations, phase transformations?diffusional, such as nucleation and growth for solidification, and diffusionless, such as martensitic? and crystallization, reaction/mixture kinetics.

CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
Course motivation: Material systems evolve due to reactions or transformations. While thermodynamics tell us what the final state should be, kinetics tells us if and how the system will reach its final state. The details for how quickly or in what manner the system evolves would guide you determining the processing of a material. Such information would also help you predict if the performance of your material would be stable during its operational lifetime. This course will prepare you for being an effective materials engineer or scientist, independent of your specialization.
