一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>ba<x>sed on thermodynamics of materials, reaction rate theory and diffusion 
<br>theory, this course includes the following topics: crystal interface and 
<br>microstructure, nucleation and growth theories, diffusional transformations in 
<br>solids, diffusionless transformation. The goal of this course is to teach 
<br>students the core knowledge of materials science, especially the application of 
<br>thermodynamics and kinetics in the most important phase transformations in 
<br>materials systems. The prerequisite courses are: thermodynamics of materials 
<br>(ESS2510 or equivalent), physical me<x>tallurgy I and II (ESS3510 and ESS3520).

<br> 六、成績考核(Evaluation)
<br>
<br>There will be one midterm exam (35%) and one final exam (45%). Problem 
<br>set will be given constantly (20%).
<br>
<br>Depending on the number of the students in this class. If the class has less 
<br>than 15 students, the last two weeks will be arranged for a final 
<br>presentation. Students are expected to present a special topic that you 
<br>have learned in this class. The performance of the presentation will be 
<br>counted in the grade of final exam. Accordingly, final exam will be 30% 
<br>and the final presentation will be 15% of the semester grade. However, if 
<br>the number of the students is more than 15, final exam will be a regular 
<br>written test and the grade will be 45% of the semester grade.
