Using Materials Informatics to Assess Societal Impact of Materials For years Material Science and Engineering in general has been taught with emphasis on the technology and then looks at how this technology fits in to society through applications. This course will attempt to puts forth an innovative approach, combining new data mining techniques, data analysis, and material fundamentals materials informatics to see if material failure patterns can be extracted from social media. The course will involve instruction on typical material issue that contribute to failures either geographically or temporarly. Students will also be introduced to informatics techniques related to data mining and large database analysis. The intent is to have a mix of lectures and practical project work. This course is primarily intended to be a course directed to CIT students in order to experience an understanding that engineering work is strongly connected to societal. Students that enroll should have completed their class in statistics.
