Kinetic Processes in Materials OpenCourseWare: A Graduate Level Free Materials Engineering Course by MIT
'Kinetic Processes in Materials,' one of the core classes required of all students pursuing a doctoral degree from MIT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering, looks at a unified treatment of atomistic and phenomenological kinetic processes in matter or materials. This course is available online as part of MIT's OpenCourseWare program.

Kinetic Processes in Materials: Course Description
This course will provide students with a background that will enable them to understand microstructural evolution, processing and behavior for a wide range of materials at an advanced level. The course concentrates on the development and analysis of rigorous understanding of fundamentals. Students study topics, such as solid-solid, liquid-solid and gas-solid reactions, morphological instabilities, heat and fluid transport, nucleation and diffusion. Completion of three undergraduate courses in material science fundamentals and material processing were required in order to take the original course. Professors Samuel Allen and Kenneth Russell taught the original course in a lecture and recitation (student presented material) format. Graduate students, majoring in materials sciences, were required to take the original course.
The OpenCourseWare materials include lecture notes, supporting files, exams with answers and reading and problem assignments from the required text. To learn more, visit the materials and their kinetic processes course page.
