Materials Science and Engineering Seminar
Bavand Keshavarz
Description from DukeHub
This course is a seminar class open to all students with an interest in Materials Science & Engineering (MS&E) at Duke University. For the graduate students in the Duke University Program in MS&E (Masters and Ph.D. tracks), this seminar course is a mandatory component. The course generally consists of four external seminars (with Q&A opportunities for all interested students after the seminar) and of eight 'internal' meeting periods with presentations by Duke graduate students. Each internal seminar course session will generally feature one 'journal' presentation and one 'original research' presentation, designed for twenty minutes presentation time plus discussion.
