The overall goal of the Master of Science in Additive Manufacturing and Design and Master of Engineering in Additive Manufacturing and Design is to educate students and working engineers to become technically outstanding experts in additive manufacturing. Specifically, the objectives include:
- Apply foundational knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity in the uses of additive manufacturing and associated design tools and methods.
- Grow as leaders in manufacturing while maintaining the highest ethical standards in applying additive manufacturing to industry-relevant problems and design challenges.
- Strive for the advancement of the state-of-art in additive manufacturing and design.
- Develop innovative solutions through new design paradigms in their respective industries.
The overall goal of the graduate AMD Certificate is to educate post-baccalaureate students and working engineers in the fundamental principles and applications of additive manufacturing. The AMD Certificate provides an entry for industry practitioners and existing workforce to gain knowledge and skills for additive manufacturing. Many workers may already have a graduate-level degree yet seek opportunities for professional development and education, particularly in additive manufacturing and design. The 12-credit curriculum will expose students to the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively across AMD domains.
The use of computational modeling tools is ubiquitous in materials research. The Computational Materials minor provides a fundamental graduate education in materials simulation techniques. The course work:
- Provides foundational courses in materials modeling, offered at various length scales,
- Integrates both broad foundational courses for students interested in a wide range of modeling techniques and/or specialized courses allowing students to develop depth in a specific modeling technique/scale, and
- Provides a flexible set of electives that will assure students are exposed to materials-related phenomena in their area of expertise.
The minor provides students the recognition of having built a background in Computational Materials, as well as the access and oversight of faculty in the minor to help them integrate these concepts with their doctoral research.
ZIF glasses, a new family of glass, could combine the transparency of silicate glass with the nonbrittle quality of metallic glass, according to researchers at Penn State and Cambridge University in the U.K.
Joseph Sinclair always knew he wanted to set the trends, not follow them. As the first graduate of the master of engineering in additive manufacturing and design master’s (AMD) program through Penn State World Campus, he’s staying true to that mission.
Penn State researchers from all disciplines are getting involved in the Food-Energy-Water (FEW) nexus. Considering the intricate nature of FEW, many researchers believe that an interdisciplinary approach is critical.
A college education presents an opportunity for students to build fulfilling relationships with educators. For some, the influence of these relationships can last a lifetime.
Katelyn Adkison will represent the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences as its student marshal at Penn State's fall 2018 undergraduate commencement ceremony.
A team of materials scientists from Penn State, Cornell and Argonne National Laboratory have, for the first time, visualized the 3D atomic and electron density structure of the most complex perovskite crystal structure system decoded to date.
