Materials Processing. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: MTEN 311 . This course gives an introduction to fundamentals of material processing. Specifically, this course will deal with metals, polymers, and ceramics. The course will follow the processing and manufacturing of these materials from vapor and melt (or, liquid phase) to solid. Start-up material will be powder, solutions and dispersion. The effects of a particular processing technology on the final product structure, shape and properties will be described. Conventional and advanced manufacturing approaches will be discussed.
