Additional Information:
This module will cover a broad range of materials and techniques to improve the performances. It will equip the students with in-depth understanding of the structures of advanced materials and properties improvement. The selection of materials based on applications will also be developed. This module includes content which relates to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG8 – This module will consider how to provide students with skills that match that labour market in materials and manufacture field and allow them to attain productive employment. SDG9 – This module will consider how to promote sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation. SDG12 – This module will consider the issues of materials waste and recycling when designing engineering solutions.
