EEE 598 - Radiation Effects

Course Description and Objectives:

This course is intended to provide a firm foundation regarding basic radiation effects on materials, especially those related to engineering. The semester will begin by solidifying background information on radiation and its fundamental interactions and the pertinent physics. Afterwards, the macroscopic effects of radiation on various materials will be explored. An ultimate course goal is for the student to apply these concepts to the design of electronic systems for use in harsh radiation environments, such as those of extraterrestrial space. Prerequisite: graduate student standing in engineering or physics.
