Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, students are able to:

1. Describe bonding and structure of oxide and non-oxide ceramics and
glasses.
2. Relate properties of ceramics to their structure.
3. Apply phase rules and phase diagrams to composition calculations.

Transferable Skills Problem solving, research skills, team work related to the (AL) and (CL).

Synopsis of Course Contents This course deals with bonding, structure and the physical and chemical
properties that are influenced mostly by the type of bonding rather than the
microstructure, such as defect structure and the atomic and electron
transport in ceramics. There will be some limited coverage of properties
that are dependent on microstructure, such as fracture toughness, optical,
magnetic and dielectric properties
