Course Overview

Cranfield University has an enviable track record in developing and applying advanced materials and their associated processing and manufacturing technologies. This spans from our surface engineering coatings used to increase gas turbine engines' operating temperature to develop composite material structures for application in some of the world’s most exotic supercars. Our research and commercial work with industry shapes our taught programs (lectures and projects), where our academic teams lead their fields.

This course equips students with the knowledge and skills to solve various engineering challenges. The Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing Technologies module, introduces and investigates the progressive subject of additive manufacturing. The Composite Manufacturing, Materials Selection, and Failure of Materials modules discuss the quest for more robust, lighter, and durable materials. The Surface Science and Engineering module and the Introduction to Materials Engineering module present our ability to modify materials to function in aggressive environments.

Our research centers in Composites and Advanced Materials, Surface Engineering and Precision and Welding, and Additive Manufacturing are integrated into the course delivery through our research and teaching teams, passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience in materials. 

The group and individual projects are often sponsored by industry, giving you highly relevant context to your studies and practical work.
