These course address following outcomes:

(a) Ability to establish important relationship between processing, internal structure and properties of ordered/disordered crystalline and non-crystalline alloy systems;

(b) An ability to use the X-ray diffraction techniques, for investigation of fine atomic structure of important engineering materials;

(c) The course will bridge the gap between line of courses in the graduate program on structural characterization techniques (METE 508, METE 535) and on courses offered on physical metallurgy.
