Courses

Composites technology

MSE-440

The latest developments in processing and the novel generations of organic composites are discussed. Nanocomposites, adaptive composites and biocomposites are presented. Product development, cost analysis and study of new markets are practiced in team work.

Innovation & entrepreneurship in engineering

MGT-555

This course is a joint initiative between the School of Engineering and the College of Management to encourage and promote entrepreneurship and management skills, engineering design, hands-on experience, teamwork, and awareness of social and ethical implications in engineering and management.

Materials:from chemistry to properties

MSE-101(a)

This course enables to acquire the essential notions relative to the structure of matter, equilibrium and chemical reactions in relation to mechanical, thermal, electric, and magnetic properties of materials.

Polymer composites + Laboratory Work

MSE-340

Mechanical and physical properties of anisotropic materials and calculation tools are presented. Constituents, processing techniques and structure-processing-properties relationships are given for different types of organic matrix composites. Applications in transport,sport and energy are discussed.

Selected topics in advanced manufacturing

MICRO-631

The course aims at providing a comprehensive overview of ongoing advanced manufacturing research topics and an opportunity for students to investigate current research trends in one particular topic of their choice.
