Materials and Design in Manufacturing Option

The materials and design in manufacturing option allows students to focus their elective courses on the design and manufacturing of structural materials, including polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites. Many of the design-oriented courses listed in this option concentrate on analytical and numerical methods to ensure that a device meets the functional requirements of an application, while other courses provide experiences working in teams. Manufacturing-oriented courses provide fundamental information on a range of material manufacturing methods for metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, including casting, molding, extruding, sintering, additive, and subtractive, as well as tools for analyzing production processes.
