Advanced Additive Materials, Properties, and Sustainability ((3 credit hours))

Catalog description

Outlines industry materials not frequently accessible in a classroom setting including but not limited to materials used in the aerospace, medical, automotive, and electronics industries. Emphasizes the importance of material selection, certification, safety, storage, and sustainability. Cultivates in-depth knowledge of what is possible through material science by exploring more exotic materials used in specialized applications such as biodegradable composites, bio-printing, and nano-printing. Explores material development through hands-on research and testing. Lecture: 2 credits (30 contact hours). Laboratory: 1 credit (30 contact hours).
