Solids, Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites

Material Science Technology is concerned with the study of materials in our everyday lives.  The course is separated into the categories of Solids, Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites.  The Solids unit provides an introduction to materials and shows students the broad range of materials that exist.  The Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites units further classify materials and show the importance of materials to our technological progress.

Each unit exposes the students to relevant equipment and projects that enable them to better understand materials.  A key feature of Material Science Technology is the ability to use materials to solve problems, a characteristic that is prized by today's employers
