SEM 594 Vacuum System Science and Engineering. (3)
not regularly offered
Vacuum concepts, equipment, and systems are studied to give the student an operational knowledge of modern vacuum technology. Equal emphasis is placed on theoretical and practical instruction. Class time is equally distributed between lecture and laboratory sessions. Lab sessions consist of exercises and tours to provide hands-on experience with and a working perspective of the vacuum techniques and systems principally used in industry, academia, and government laboratories. Undergraduates take two written exams; graduate students take two written exams and complete a vacuum system design project. Prerequisite: college algebra.
