The “Fabricatology” is a course that students can learn how to make desired shapes, structures, and surfaces across various length scales. It will introduce rich scientific and engineering knowledge related to fabrication at multiple length scales and the generated materials and mechanical systems can be utilized for studying diverse topics including energy harvesting, metamaterials, wetting, and information storage. From this course, students can learn principles and technologies to control shapes at various length scales and processes to control internal structures or surface properties for desired properties/functions. They will be also introduced to exciting recent development in the field so that they can have a comprehensive knowledge about the subject. Recommended Course Background: coursework in introduction to materials chemistry or engineering materials.

The best aspects of this course included the motivating instructor, wel -prepared lectures, clear expectations, and introduction to research paper analysis. Students felt that the exams were hard and difficult to study for, the grading was harsh, and the amount of information presented in the course was overwhelming. Suggestions for improvement included having review sessions before exams, adding a lab component to the course to apply concepts learned in class, and providing clearer feedback and expectations for graded assignments. Prospective students should have a background in basic materials science and should attend all classes.
