Freshman Undergraduate Level<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SMT 200 provides an introduction to the manufacturing, properties, and performance of widely used materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and bio-based materials. The course emphasizes the fundamental relationships between processing, structure, properties, and performance. In parallel, students will examine the sustainability aspects of these materials \u2014 considering how material choices influence the environmental footprint of products \u2014 and begin to develop an understanding of sustainable materials and technologies in the context of modern manufacturing and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SMT 200 includes two in-person lectures (T\/Th) and one in-person lab session (T) every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
