The MBN 305 course provides fundamental knowledge on phase equilibrium and phase transformations to third-year students in the Department of Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering, helping them adapt to this technologically significant field.
The course focuses on fundamental thermodynamic principles related to phase equilibrium, transformations, and diagrams, covering binary and ternary phase diagrams, phase diagram kinetics, diffusion mechanisms, diffusion in solids, and diffusionless transformations.

The aim of this course is to provide students with fundamental knowledge of phase equilibria and transformations and to equip them with the ability to apply this knowledge to solving engineering problems related to the structure-property relationships in materials.
1. Gain general knowledge about phase diagrams and transformations;
2. Understand thermodynamics and apply mathematics, science, and engineering principles to solve materials engineering problems;
3. Acquire knowledge about current applications of materials and the challenges encountered;
4. Apply engineering and mathematical methods for the analysis and design of materials;
5. Utilize the necessary techniques, skills, and tools for engineering applications.
