| Description |
: This program is designed for students in the engineering and science disciplines who desire training in the field of materials science and engineering. Material issues are quickly becoming the most vital in engineering design and analysis. New materials are being sought for microelectronic packages, biomedical applications superconducting films, tool bit materials, cutting tools, fuel-efficient engines, etc. Many engineers and scientists who graduate do not have a sufficient materials background to answer the needs of industrial companies who have the task of designing with new materials, selecting alternate materials or processing new materials.
The goal of this program is to establish a set of integrated materials courses specifically designed for engineers and scientists who do not have a formal education in materials in order to increase their marketable skills and to develop a cross-disciplinary approach to problem solving. |
