    Certificate in Composite Materials Engineering (CMA)

    Composites is an emerging field of high performance materials that are increasingly being used in many applications throughout society including aerospace, marine (boats), infrastructure (bridge decks), automotive, wind energy, sporting goods, biomedical implants, chemical plants, and US defense weapon systems.  The processing, mechanics, and design of these materials are usually not covered in a typical undergraduate engineering curriculum.  The goal of this certificate is to provide students and practicing engineers with essential instruction in various practical areas including composite material components, processing & manufacturing, characterization, mechanics, and design.

    The certificate can be earned by completing a total of three (3) three-credit hour courses, as follows:

    Required Courses
    MAT/MEE 542Advanced Composites3
    or CME 512 Advanced Composites
    Select two from the following courses:6
    MAT/CEE 540
    		Composite Design
    MAT/CEE/MEE 541
    		Experimental Mechanics of Composite Materials
    MAT/CEE/MEE 543
    		Analytical Mechanics of Composite Materials
    MAT 552
