This specialization builds on the first undergraduate specialization, and like the other specialization, it introduces a limited number of new concepts in engineering sciences and materials. The introductions are at the concept level and do not delve into complex mathematics. Topics in this specialization include:
Some of the roles that may benefit from this course include:
Others interested in exploring the world of materials will find the course helpful.
Learners will complete assessments based on industry experiences, which will serve as a basis for learners to effectively demonstrate the application of materials science methodology. The course structure and step-by-step process are designed to ensure learner success.
