Textbook "The Structure of Materials, Vol.3, Mechanical Behavior"
ed. by John Wolf et al. ( John Wiley and Sons Inc.)
Pre-requirement "Elements of Solid Physics, Mechanics of Materials"
Course Description Mechanical Metallurgy will be lectured as an Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering. This is a subject that ranges from industrial forming operations (such as forging, rolling, extrusion, etc.), where masses of metal weighing up to a hundred tons are changed in shape, to the study of deformation processes in small polycrystalline and single specimens using several mechanical testing machines and optical and transmission electron microscopy. Great emphasis has been placed in recent years on the observation of dislocations and the application of dislocation theory to the interpretation of the phenomena of plastic deformation. 

The aim of the present lecture course is to provide a background of basic information against which undergraduate students can set their knowledge of dislocation theory in order to interpret several mechanical properties (such as strength, fracture, ductility etc.) of engineering structural materials. 
Details of theories will be avoided but, where possible, a general discussion in terms of dislocation theory is outlined. It will focus on the following topics:

Mechanical Tests
Microplasticity of Crystals
Plastic Deformation
Dislocations
Strengthening Mechanics
These topics will however vary in accordance with the students' majoring.


(Assessment Policy)
There will be some reports/exercises requirements on the lecture mentioned above during the semester. Assessment will take account of these reports and one examination carried out at the end of semester.

Textbook "Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields" written by R.F. Harrington (McGRAW-HILL)
Pre-requirement Electromagnetic Theory
Course Description (Objectives)
A device whose primary purpose is to radiate or receive radio waves is called antenna. Wherever we are, We can see one or two antennas around us that are sending you signals or waiting for you to send signals. The purpose of this course is to enable students to understand the basic concepts of various antennas.

(Outline of Class and Contents)
1. Brief explanatins of various antennas,
2. transmission-line concepts,
3. waveguide concepts,
4. resonator concepts,
5. radiation,
6. antenna pattern calculation,
7. practical examples of recently developed antennas.

Textbook Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems, Third 
Edition by B.P. Lathi (Oxford University Press, 1998)
Pre-requirement Trigonometric identities, Integrals, Fourier series, 
some basic knowledge of probabilities and LCR circuits.
Course Description This course must be taken concurrently with the course "Communications
Theory Laboratory." First two classes will review theory of 
probability and basic knowledge of mathematics that are necessary to 
understand the subjects in the course. They will include all the 
items listed in the Pre-requirement. Students who are not very 
familiar with the knowledge in those basics are strongly encouraged to
concentrate their efforts on acquiring the knowledge during the first
two 
classes. This course together with "Communications Theory Laboratory" 
discusses in depth how digital and analog communication systems work 
in the presence of noise. Topics covered in the course are behavior of
FM systems in noisy channels, probability density functions, 
random variables, the Gaussian PDF, the Rayleigh PDF, the Rice PDF, 
Wiener-Hopf optimum filter, AFK, FSK, PSK, and QAM. Shannon's 
information theory and spread spectrum systems are also included. This
course will cover from chapter 7 up to Chapter 15 in the textbook. 
Chapter 16 (Error correcting codes) will not be included. 
The assessment policy:
Final: 60%, Midterm: 20%, Class participation: 10%, Lab class scores:

Pre-requirement Electromagnetic Theory
Course Description This course is an exercise session for the course "Communications 
Theory."This course must be taken concurrently with the course "
Communications Theory." Students will be given problems directly 
related to the lecture given in "Communications Theory." By solving 
the problems students can understand the real aspects of the theory 
given in the lecture. 

Assessment policy: The same scores given in the course " 
Communications Theory."
