Certificate in Industrial Plastics Processing and Design (code MAE_CT02)
Director: Min-Ten Jahn
This certificate is an interdisciplinary program sponsored by the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Chemical Engineering Departments. Study includes industrial production processes, material testing procedures, economics of the polymerics industry and degradation of polymerics. Students complete an individual project, consisting of the design of an item, choice of proper polymeric material for the particular application, choice of the processing operation and construction of the necessary molding tools and testing of the completed device. Contact the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
