Bringing together concepts from across our entire curriculum, including Mechanical Behaviour of Materials, Phase Transformations, Heat and Mass Transport, and Thermodynamics, this course explores the processing-microstructure-properties-performance underlying several manufacturing techniques. Significant focus is placed on hands-on application of fundamental materials science. Guided hands-on activities support students through both individual and team manufacturing assignments, preparing students with the skills necessary to successfully complete the team project in MSE397H. This course continues the design spine from MSE294H1 and MSE295H1 and further prepares students for the challenges of the team-based design and build project within MSE397H1.These courses in third year connect materials selection, CAD drawing, computer simulation, manufacturing methods and experimental techniques for component and product design in materials engineering.
