This course introduces state-of-the-art additive manufacturing techniques for metallic materials, processing considerations, unresolved challenges and future opportunities. The course focuses on the underlying mechanisms such as energy-matter interaction, solidification, melt pool characteristics, defects, as well as the impact on resulting materials properties based on the processing-structure-property relationships.

A study of special subjects related to developments in materials science under the direction of members of the staff. Offered as required under the guidance of a faculty member.

Formal record of student commitment to master's thesis research under the guidance of a faculty advisor. May be repeated as necessary.
