Course Overview

The Microstructural Evolution of Materials Part 1: Statistical Mechanics Certification Course is an advanced-level online course that explores different concepts and principles of statistical mechanics. This is the first part of the four-course series in Microstructural Evolution in Materials. The course is delivered by expert instructors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The Microstructural Evolution of Materials Part 1: Statistical Mechanics Training will introduce learners to the concepts of solid solutions, the canonical ensemble, and heat capacity. Once all the course lessons are completed along with the graded assignments and exams, learners will get the Microstructural Evolution of Materials Part 1: Statistical Mechanics Certification by edX and Stanford University. 

Edx has 2 tracks in which the students can be enrolled into - one is the audit track and the other is the verified track. One track offers limited free access to the course materials but no certificate after completion whereas the verified track is the upgraded version of the same course that gives unlimited but paid access to the course materials.

The Highlights

  • Certificate of completion
  • 5 weeks duration
  • 8 to 10 weekly study hours
  • Self-paced course
  • Video lectures
  • Graded assignments and exams
