A Collaborative Program of the Faculty of Arts & Science and the Faculty of
Applied Science & Engineering
Materials science is the study of the structure, properties and applications
of all types of materials including metals, ceramics, glasses and polymers.
Currently many exciting scientific developments are in the materials
field. Notable advances have been made recently in studies of amorphous
metals, the quasicrystalline state, liquid crystals, semiconductors,
nanostructured materials, high critical temperature superconductors,
biomaterials, high strength polymers, materials processing techniques
such as ion implantation and laser melting, and in new categories of
engineered materials such as advanced industrial ceramics or composite
materials.
Materials science is interdisciplinary, drawing on the basic sciences
of chemistry and physics and on more applied subjects such as metallurgy,
ceramics and polymer science. Its tools and techniques include electron
microscopy, x-ray diffraction, surface analysis using Auger emission
spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, etc.
Applied Science: Materials, MSE 101H1, is designed to appeal to a wide
variety of student interests. Other materials science courses are available
to students having the prescribed prerequisites and the approval of
the Undergraduate Student Counsellor. The specialist program in Materials
Science is coordinated jointly by the Departments of Chemistry and Materials
Science and Engineering. For further information on the program, consult
the coordinators listed in the Materials Science Program section below.
For further information on materials courses from the Faculty of Applied
Science and Engineering, consult the Undergraduate Student Counsellor.
Undergraduate Counsellor: Professor U. Erb, Department of Materials Science and Engineering Science,Wallberg Building, Room 140 (416-978-7308)
Materials Science Programs
Materials Science (Science program)
Consult Professor Ian Manners, Department of Chemistry and Professor
U. Erb, Department of Metallurgy and Materials Science.
Enrolment in this program requires completion of four courses; no minimum
GPA required.
Specialist program:
(13 full courses or their equivalent, including at least one 400-series
course)
NOTE: The program consists of a core curriculum and electives. By suitably
choosing electives, students follow one of two streams: 1.) Materials
Chemistry, or 2.) Materials Science and Engineering. See Notes 1, 2
and 3 below.
Core Curriculum:
First Year:
CHM151Y1/137Y1/(132H1, 133H1)/(CHM138H1,
CHM139H1); MAT135Y1/MAT137Y1;
PHY138Y1/PHY140Y1
Second Year:
MSE 101H1; CHM225Y1/CHM238Y1,
240Y1/CHM247H1/248Y1/CHM249H1
Third and Fourth Years:
1. CHM325H1, 425H1/CHM434H1
2. Two of: CHM326H1/CHM328H1/CHM338H1/CHM346H1/CHM348H1
3. Three MSE half-courses
4. 2.5 full course equivalents in CHM/MSE/CHE (CHM200Y1,
CHM299Y1 excluded)
Notes:
1. Materials Chemistry Stream:
a. MSE 101H1 should be taken in Second Year
b. Introduction to Research: select one of CHM409Y1/CHM418Y1/CHM428Y1/CHM439Y1/CHM449Y1
c. Stream Electives: select two of MSE 314H1/330H1/420H1/430H1/CHM 425H1/436H1/CHM441H1
d. Student programs must include at least one full course equivalent
from among the Materials courses of the Faculty of Applied Science and
Engineering.
2. Materials Science and Engineering Stream:
a. Thesis: MSE 499Y1
b. Stream Electives: select two of MSE 207H1/316H1/314H1/ 330H1/420H1/430H1/CHE
461H1/463H1
c. Student programs must include at least four full course equivalents
from among the Materials courses of the Faculty of Applied Science and
Engineering.
Additional Notes:
3. Students may also select elective courses which satisfy the core
curriculum requirements listed above but which do not correspond to
either of the listed streams. Such students should consult Professor
Ian Manners (Chemistry) and Professor U. Erb (Materials Science and
Engineering) before enroling in elective courses.
