(a) An ability to establish important relationship between macroscopic (bulk) and microscopic (atomic) parameters of ordered/disordered crystalline alloy systems;

(b) An ability to use various computer programs, for calculation of interatomic interaction potentials, ordering energies, etc. in order to establish important relationship between internal atomic structure and bulk physico-chemical properties of ordered/disordered crystalline alloy systems;

(c) The course will bridge the gap between line of courses in the graduate program on Physics of Materials (METE 509, METE 510) and on courses offered on physical metallurgy.
