TARGET
At the end of this course, students should demonstrate

  • general knowledge of the properties of polymeric materials in relation to typical engineering (automotive) applications.
  • general knowledge associated with polymer transformation processes
  • understanding of the interactions between polymer material and processing
  • mastery of a methodology for the design of plastic parts and associated processing tools, including process optimization and economic analysis
