MATERIALS

Learn about engineering materials and how to apply them to real-world problems and decisions.

Engineers use materials to design, create and produce solutions that can alter the way we go about our everyday lives. However, many production problems could occur if materials' properties are overlooked during design, manufacturing, supplier selection and/or quality control processes.

Our materials portfolio has been designed to provide the practical skills that high-value engineering organisations need to apply to real-world problems and decisions in order to succeed in competitive global markets.

Excellent, very informative and engaging.
