Learning Outcomes

- The students completing this major will know the processing and manufacturing methods of a broad range of materials. S/he will understand the effects of process parameters to the micro and macroscopic structures, technical properties, functionality, and durability in various different applications. The students will obtain a good overall knowledge of the material group that s/he chooses. The materials include biomaterials, ceramics, composites, fiber, medical materials, metals, paper and packaging, coatings, and polymers and elastomers. The student can analyze and evaluate material properties, and to choose the right material solutions for each application. The students will be able to apply the newly acquired knowledge in materials research and development, education, and industrial product development tasks.
