{"ModuleCode":"MLE5104","ModuleTitle":"Physical Properties Of Materials","Department":"Materials Science And Engineering","ModuleDescription":"Physical properties of metals, ceramics, polymers and their hybrids are covered. These include overview of electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, magnetic properties, ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, and optical properties of different classes of materials. The correlations of length-scale, structure, microstructures, and interfaces of materials with their properties are emphasized.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"3-0-0-3.5-3.5","ExamDuration":"P2H","ExamVenue":"E5-03-22/23","AcadYear":"2014/2015","History":[{"Semester":2,"ExamDate":"2015-04-28T17:00+0800","Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Lecture","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Friday","StartTime":"1800","EndTime":"2100","Venue":"E1-06-08"},{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Tutorial","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Saturday","StartTime":"0900","EndTime":"1000","Venue":"E3-06-07"}],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"efb56634-d647-44e5-b58f-f94203f8bf61","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"MLE5104","CourseName":"PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 2","CourseAcadYear":"2014/2015","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1420560000000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2015-01-07T00:00:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1431187140000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2015-05-09T23:59:00","CourseMC":"0","isActive":"N","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Daniel Chua","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"bd2be9b2-212e-4f9d-845f-d0818aece56d","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":true,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":false,"hasClassRosterItems":true,"hasWeblinkItems":false,"hasLecturerItems":true,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":false,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":false,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[],"Lecturers":[{"ID":"6ee2c964-641e-4cbd-b4dc-38d4158b6963","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Daniel Chua","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"bd2be9b2-212e-4f9d-845f-d0818aece56d","AccountType":null},"Role":"Lecturer ","Order":1,"ConsultHrs":null}],"Descriptions":[{"ID":"1e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Learning Outcomes","Description":"This module aims to introduce the physical properties of solid-state materials.
\nThe physical properties range from metallic and semiconducting, delectric, magnetic, optical and surface properties. In this course, basic quantum theory will also be introduced.
\nAlthough the course focuses on the properties, a basic introduction into different materials will also be included to show the relationship between materials and its properties.
\n
\nStudents are expected to understand the concepts of each principle and apply the concepts for specific analytical solutions.
\n
\nThis module aims to give sufficient background knowledge such that graduates taking this module can apply the knowledge gained to select and utilize materials effectively, both in academia and industry.
