Materials Science and Manufacturing

Catalog description

This course is intended to give students a strong background in materials science and manufacturing. The course covers the behavior of materials, starting from an atomic level, and building to how atomic level structures influence macroscopic failure in both metals and polymers. The rheology of various materials becomes the transition into how they are developed into useful products through various manufacturing methods including casting, extrusion, molding, sintering, machining and through composite fabrication techniques.
