Courses

Advanced ceramic technologies

MSE-495

Advanced ceramic processing concepts and technologies will be presented. Students will learn concepts on advanced technologically-relevant ceramic materials for a wide range of applications from MedTech, energy conversion & storage, with insights on sustainability & material lifecycle.

Materials engineering II

MSE-215

After Materials engineering I on polymers and metals, the links between processing-structures-properties of ceramics for microtechnology are presented. Hands-on works will allow to process and characterize properties of the 3 types of materials.
