Course Objectives The objective of this course is to get senior level Materials Engineering students to work on a project supervised by a departmental faculty member. The students will work alone or in a team, and find an opportunity to apply their knowledge gained on materials process and test systems design, materials processing and modeling, material selection for specific engineering applications, feasibility analysis, etc
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Experience to conduct research following a work plan.
  • Experience on research report preparation and presentation
  • Experience to work in a team.
Course Content A capstone project supervised by a department faculty member on the applications of the knowledge gained on metallurgical/materials process and test systems design, materials modeling, material selection for specific engineering applications, feasibility analysis, etc.
