Processing, Properties, and Performance of Engineering Metals Certificate

Note: On October 22, 2021 the graduate certificate Processing, Properties and Performance of Engineering Metals (PPPEM-AC) was terminated while the Processing, Properties and Performance of Engineering Metals graduate certificate type (PPPEM-ACG) will remain active. In order to maintain accurate records the program was updated on October 26, 2021.

The graduate-level Certificate in Processing, Properties, and Performance of Engineering Metals is designed primarily to meet the needs of working engineers who wish to pursue or enhance a particular aspect of materials science and engineering and of traditional graduate students in science and/or engineering who want to supplement their program with courses having a metals focus.

The academic requirements associated with the Certificate in Processing, Properties, and Performance of Engineering Metals include the completion of fifteen (15) credits of coursework within the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science as follows:

Required Courses

Students must complete the following two (2) courses:

MSE 2030 - MECHANICAL BEHAVR OF MATERIALS
MSE 2067 - ELEMENTS OF MATRLS SCI & ENGRG 1

Electives

Students may select three (3) of the following courses as electives:

MSE 2045 - ADV FERUS PHYSICAL METALLURGY
MSE 2046 - PHYSICAL METALLURGY ENGR ALLOYS
MSE 2047 - ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION AT THE NANO-SCALE
MSE 2055 - PRIN OF SOLIDIFICATION ENGRNG
MSE 2088 - POWDER PROCESSING OF MATERIALS
MSE 2090 - CORROSION AND FAILURE ANALYSIS

Note:

If students have a bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering, MSE 2067 can be waived upon the permission of the Program Director. In this case, one (1) more elective course must be substituted for MSE 2067 to complete the requirements of the Certificate. All courses must be taken on campus.
