Rutgers University 3 credits Materials Science and Engineering
This course will cover principles of photovoltaic solar cell operation and build from that foundation to discuss how these principles guide solar cell design. Lecture format with significant design content to emphasize current/voltage trade-offs encountered in solar cell optimization and the role that processing choices can play in improving system efficiency. Pre‐requisites: Open to all SoE students who have completed 60 credits 14:635:407 Mechanical Properties of Materials (3) Fundamentals of materials science and engineering. Investigation of properties including elasticity, plasticity, strength, hardness, ductility, fracture, time-dependent deformation, and the impact of environmental effects. Restricted to non-635 majors; 160:159 or 161 or 165; 640:152 & 221; 440:221 14:635:410 Biological Applications for Nanomaterials (3) (Co‐listed with 125:582) Begins with the fundamentals of nanoscience in biology and medicine, and progresses to the current state of research in nanomaterials and nanotechnology as applied to biological applications. Key topics include nanoparticles and phagocytosis, nanoscale drug delivery systems, nanopatterning, scanning probe microscopy, and nanomachines in medicine. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of nanomaterials research, the course contents may change considerably from year to year to reflect the latest advances.
