This graduate level course will give an advanced survey to different aspects of active research in nanotechnology, covering the broad area of thermodynamics, physics, chemistry, and material science. We will go over some fundamental properties of nano materials due to its reduced size and dimension, such as thermodynamic, mechanical, electronic, magnetic, optical and bio-chemical properties as well as its synthesis, process, characterization and nano fabrication / imprint methods. Then we will focus on the applications associated with those unique properties. Topics will cover a board range from nano-grained structural materials, to nano particles / composites in clean renewable energy, from nano logic / memory device to nano-bio materials in drug delivery, from nano optical device to Aerospace applications.
Guest lecturers from both industry and academic unit will be invited to address contemporary issues that span a broader range in the area of nanotechnologies.

MatE 297 is elective class for graduate students for MatE. Other Engineering or Science majors, such as ChemE, EE. ME with proper prerequisites are welcome to enroll. Prerequisites (or equivalent at community college) are:
Chem 11A (or Chem 1A) General Chemistry
Math 133A Ordinary Differentiate Equation
Physics 51/71 (Elec. & Magn.) General Physics
MatE: 25: Introduction to Materials
EE98 Introduction to Circuit Analysis
MatE 153: Electric, Optical, Magnetic Properties of Materials
It will be helpful if you have already taken MatE 205 (Mechanical Behavior), 241 (Characterization) and 251 (Thermodynamics) but not required. We will go over some fundamentals again in the class
a) Academic
integrity statement (from Office of Judicial Affairs):
“Your own
commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at San José State
University, and the University’s Academic Integrity Policy requires you to be
honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report
all infractions to the Office of Judicial Affairs. The policy on academic
integrity can be found at
b) Campus policy in
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act:
“If you need course
adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need special
arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment
with me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours. Presidential Directive
97-03 requires that students with disabilities requesting accommodations must
register with DRC to establish a record of their disability.”
c) Academic
Honesty.
Strict standards of academic honesty will be enforced in this class. Students who plagiarize any portion of their term paper will receive an F (0) on that paper with no chance of make-up and be reported to the University. Plagiarism constitutes copying any portion of your paper from textbooks, literature, and website. (See http://www.cob.sjsu.edu/bus91l/91L_univ_policy.htm for SJSU’s policy on academic dishonesty.) Any figures used from textbooks or literature must be properly quoted. For more information about how to avoid plagiarism, please see http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/wts/plagiarism.html.
You are responsible
for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drops academic renewal,
withdrawal, etc.
Please be aware that the University Withdrawal schedule is as follows:
Monday February 6 is last day to drop the class without a “W” on transcript.
Monday February 13 is last day to add the course.
Withdrawals after the drop deadline are granted only for “serious and compelling reasons”; this usually refers to extreme personal or family problems. Registering for too many units is not considered a serious and compelling reason.
If you stop coming to class without filing a withdrawal slip, or do not take examinations, you will receive a grade of “U” which reverts to an F on your transcript.
http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/MatE297/
Check the MatE 297 Website frequently for homework and exam solutions and course updates. The site links to the presentations for each week. Please print it out prior to class as class notes. It will also contain link for in-class activities, such as quiz and blue sheets Some material will be posted as printable html files; others will be pdf files which must be downloaded using Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download Adobe for free from www.adobe.com.
A set of Learning Objectives will be posted on website each week to help you track of your progress in the course. All of the course assignments (which include lectures, assignments, in-class quiz and blue sheet activities, assigned readings) are designed to help you learn the material and master the learning objectives. We recommend that you review the LOs weekly and highlight the ones you have achieved that week.
There will be
in-class quiz and blue sheet activities through out the semester to ensure your
progress and participation in the class. Quiz will have to be completed by each
individual and be turned back in during the class. No group discussion is
allowed. Blue sheet activities are designed for problem solving exercise. It is
a more flexible style which allows group discussion during and even after the
class. It can be turned back either during the class or at the beginning of the
next class. The answers will be posted on the course website.
The Final is in
May 24th 7:45pm-10:00pm. It will cover all learning objectives discussed in
this semester, including those from guest lectures
We will also have
a term paper. Term Paper is an
individual project and you can select one of the applications of Nano materials
that you are most interested in. The abstract of your term paper will be due in
WW04. I will look at your abstract and tell you my feedback in WW05. This is
mainly to determine which area you want to cover. The 1st draft of your term
paper will be due in WW10 (The week after spring break)
with 3 copies. The paper has to be at least 4 pages in
a letter size paper (excluding tables and figures) with single spacing and No.
12 font. I will keep one and the next two will be given to two of your
classmates for peer review. As a reviewer, you will have to review two papers
each in a two week period and give your comments. This will also count as your
final grades. Once you received your peer review comments, you have another 4
weeks to finalize your paper and turn it in on WW15. You will have turn in both
the peer review comments and your final version of term paper. You will also
need to upload it to www.turnitin.com to
check plagiarism (Class ID: 1452157, enrollment password:
MatE297)
