Advanced Materials Design & Processing Track

The role of the materials engineer in the design and processing of today's highly sophisticated products is varied, complex, exciting and ever-changing. The selection of material and its processing, product design, cost, environmental impact, performance and service have become inseparable. New, advanced materials development is the enabling factor in major parts of the economy. Innovation, short time to market, and concurrent engineering are the keys to successful design and manufacturing activities. This track contains fundamental courses on the properties and processing of engineering materials and specialization courses that span several disciplines including business, mechanical engineering and engineering management. The goal of this track is to prepare leaders in design and manufacturing that will be technically competent and aware of business/management principles.
