  • Adaptive Learning Module for Introduction to Materials Science

    Creator:
    Nigon, Nutnicha
    Abstract:
    There is a growing need for individualized instructional designs in 4-year institutions due to: 1) growing undergraduate enrollment trends across the U.S., 2) broader diversity in students backgrounds, and 3) the growing prevalence of asynchronous remote learning. With the growth in computer technology in education, tools such as adaptive intelligent...

  • Oxidation of Amorphous Metal Alloy Surfaces Studied Using Ambient Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Alzaga Elizondo, Pedro
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of growing interest due to their unique mechanical properties and chemical stability. AMTFs have an advantage over polycrystalline metal films due to the lack of grain boundaries which gives AMTFs added durability and relatively smoother surfaces. For this reason, AMTFs have been investigated as...

  • Graphene Biotransistors, an Exploration of Neurosensing and Biofilm-sensing Applications

    Creator:
    Brown, Morgan A.
    Abstract:
    Atomically-thin graphene sheets have unprecedented characteristics for biosensing applications. These characteristics include mechanical flexibility and strength, optical transparency, electrical sensitivity and biocompatibility. The primary theme of this dissertation is the characterization and application of graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) in biologically-relevant physiological environments.Understanding the interface that forms between an electrolyte and...

  • Systematic design of biologically-inspired engineering solutions

    Creator:
    Nagel, Jacquelyn Kay
    Abstract:
    Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it...
