SEM 558 Electron Microscopy I. (3) F
Microanalysis of the structure and composition of materials using images, diffraction, and X-ray and energy loss spectroscopy. Knowledge of elementary crystallography, reciprocal lattice, stereographic projections, and complex variables is required. Cross-listed as MSE 558. Prerequisite: instructor approval.

SEM 559 Electron Microscopy II. (3) S
Microanalysis of the structure and composition of materials using images, diffraction, and X-ray and energy loss spectroscopy. Knowledge of elementary crystallography, reciprocal lattice, stereographic projections, and complex variables is required. Cross-listed as MSE 559. Prerequisite: instructor approval.

SEM 594 Vacuum System Science and Engineering. (3)
Vacuum concepts, equipment, and systems are studied to give the student an operational knowledge of modern vacuum technology. Equal emphasis will be placed on theoretical and practical instruction. Class time is equally distributed between lecture and laboratory sessions. Lab sessions will 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.

SEM 790 Reading and Conference. (1–6)

SEM 791 Seminar. (1)

SEM 792 Research. (1–12)

SEM 799 Dissertation. (1–12)
