The significance of material science and technology

AI Thread Summary
Material Science and Technology is valuable for electronic engineering students, particularly those interested in nanotechnology, as it enhances understanding of materials used in electronics. Engaging with professors can provide insights into the course's relevance and applicability in real-world engineering scenarios. Previous students have found courses in materials science and semiconductor devices beneficial for their careers. Difficulty in accessing professors for guidance can be a common challenge, prompting students to seek advice from peers. Overall, the course can significantly contribute to a deeper knowledge of materials critical to electronic engineering.

Hi people,
Firstly I want to state that it will be my first message in this forum, I am new around here. I am studying electronical engineering, second year student. I am kind of interested in nanotechnology, hence I am trying to add the course whose name is "Material Science and Technology" eventhough the cirruculum of engineering does not contain that class which is in fact belongt to chemistry department. I would be really gladful if you guys inform me about the things that the class might contribute to my knowledge or the necessity of the class for the student of electronical engineering.
Thank you all..
Have a nice day..

Ask the professor for a course syllabus. I took basic materials science (mostly an introduction to metalurgy) and semiconductor devices (quantum electronics, field and waves, and material science). Both courses have proven useful in my work as an engineer and patent expert. Find the professor with knowledge in an area and ask a few questions. I used to go to my Semiconductor Prof during office hours, and he said, "You ask good questions, so I want you to ask these in class." I went to work after graduation and the guy sitting next to me said, "Hey, you were in my Semiconductors class? No offense, but you asked a lot of stupid questions!"
 
Thanks for your answer. I already tried to reach the professor in order to ask critical questions about the reliability of the course by e-mail and face-to-face, but I could not access to him neither way. That's why I open the topic to get knowledge from experienced people like you. Funny situation you went through, by the way. :)
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
