About

After completing the MEng at McGill University (1975) and a PhD at UBC (1981), Hani took up a faculty appointment at Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA. In 1989, he moved to the University of Alberta actively teaching and doing research on pipeline steels, metal-matrix composites and rapid solidification. He partners with industry in research and has extensive international collaborations. As part of his mentoring activities, Hani formulated an international work abroad program for undergraduates in several high quality engineering programs in Europe and Japan, placing over 80 students since 2002. He formulated in 2011 a Dual Degree Program with the Université de Lorraine. Amongst the distinctions he has received are five best paper awards, the prestigious Killam Research Fellowship, and the Metals Chemistry Award. He has been inducted Fellow of The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), ASM International (ASM), the Canadian Academy of Engineers (CAE), The Minerals, Metals and materials Society (TMS) and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3). In service, Hani plays a leadership role in the profession as the 1998 MetSoc President, Past Editor of CMQ, the 2014 President of the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) and the 2019 President of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers.

MAT E 464 - Materials Process Engineering Design

Engineering design concepts in materials processing. Cost estimation. Project planning and scheduling. Plant safety and hazards analysis. Selected project design examples. Credit may not be obtained in this course if previous credit has been obtained in MAT E 365. Prerequisites: CME 265 and MAT E 204 or 301. Corequisites: CH E 314, ENG M 310 or 401, and ENGG 404.

MAT E 470 - Process Dynamics

The study of diffusion, mass transfer and reaction kinetics in materials process engineering. The fundamental equations governing mass transfer are applied to study the rate of metallurgical processes. The use of dimensional analysis in scale-up of reactors and mixing in batch and continuous processes is also presented. Credit may not be obtained in this course if previous credit has been obtained in MAT E 440. Prerequisites: MAT E 204 or 301, and CH E 312. Corequisite: CH E 314.

MAT E 694 - Advanced Topics in Materials Engineering

An advanced treatment of materials engineering topics of current interest to staff and students.
