i amm interested in your program of the university please can you tell me the main differences beyween material science and material engineering
Hi, balkees —
One of our MSE professors answered your question this way:
“The really short answer is science is the basic understanding of how nature works, as determined in an unbiased way based on experiment.
Engineering is the application of science to do useful things, or solve problems. Like make solar cells to transform the sun’s energy to electricity.
Same applies to materials science / engineering. Its basic understanding vs. application. ”
From an advising point of view, and particularly at The Ohio State University, the department of Materials Science and Engineering resides in the College of Engineering. A student in MSE is a Materials Scientist and also an Engineer.
Hope that helps.
I wondering if Ohio State held a summer program like a camp for college age students in Materials Science Engineering. I attend Ohio State, I’m a freshman in the engineering program. I plan to study Materials Science Engineering but would like to spend a week in the program before I comment to the program.
Hi, Scott.
The only summer camps available are for current high school students, and run by the OSU College of Engineering. We’d be happy to have you sit in on one of our classes, however. Or we can arrange for you to meet with a current student and to get a tour of our lab facilities. Contact me at mse@osu.edu
Please guide me,
- Is there any correlation between thickness of film and grain size?
- Is the grain size the same as crystallite size?
- In a film by introducing some interstitial atoms( Atoms with lower
diameter), what is expected in comparison with the film without those
interstitial atoms?
Kin regards.
Hello,
Your questions are more appropriately asked of our faculty than of undergraduate students on a social media site.
Feel free to choose a faculty contact from the list found here: http://www.matsceng.ohio-state.edu/faculty/
Best wishes.
1)- for the same weight of a fim, larger grain size will accompany larger unfilled spaces and thus may lead to a greater thickness.
2) A grain may contain a single crystallite or many crystallites ( so grain size can be equal to or greater than the crystallite size)
3)- It depends upon two factore, the size of the introduced interstitial atom as well as the strength of bonding it feels there. (so we can tell what will happen only if we know quantitatively the both effects)

How do we know that the organic material is suitable to be donor and acceptor?
