Currently Teaching
MCET-211
Characterization of Non-Metallic Materials Lab
1 Credits
This course will consist of laboratory experiences which focus on property characterization of the properties of polymeric materials.
RMET-797
MMSI Capstone Project
3 Credits
This course provides the MMSI graduate students an opportunity to complete their degree requirements by addressing a practical real-world challenge using the knowledge and skills acquired throughout their studies. This course is not only the culmination of a student's course work but also an indicator of the student's ability to use diverse knowledge to provide a tangible solution to a problem. The capstone project topic can be in the areas of product development, manufacturing automation, management system, quality management or electronics packaging. The course requires a comprehensive project report and a final presentation.
