Next Generation Material Science
This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive examination of emerging materials that define the frontier of modern engineering and science.
New materials are no longer discovered passively, but are engineered at molecular levels to achieve specific functionalities. Next generation materials such as carbon nanotubes, shape-memory alloys, and biomimetic polymers represent this shift and offer improved performance, such as being both high strength and low weight, or flexible and electrically conductive.
The evolution from classical materials to next-generation systems reflects the necessity of a multidisciplinary, design-informed approach to material innovation, emphasizing foundational principles and engineering applications.
This course covers nanomaterials and nanoengineering, advanced composites and hybrid materials, smart and responsive materials, additive manufacturing, advanced polymers and engineering ceramics, metamaterials and engineered surfaces, and biomaterials and bioinspired engineering. It also emphasizes sustainable and recyclable materials, lifecycle assessment, and material selection and future directions.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to materials and mechanical engineers, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about next-generation materials and their engineering applications.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the properties and categories of next generation engineering materials
- Learning the processing techniques and structural applications of advanced polymers, ceramics, composites, and metals
- Understanding the behavior and potential of nanostructured and smart materials
- Knowing how to integrate material science principles into modern engineering challenges
- Recognizing the implications of additive manufacturing and digital fabrication for future material usage
- Understanding the environmental, economic, and lifecycle considerations of new materials
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Next Generation Material Science”, prepared by Dr Jeelan Moghraby, PhD., MBA.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions to earn 4 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
