Certificate Program Provided by Technology EdPolymer Science FundamentalsCourse Description Polymers are all around us- from medical products, to paper products, to polyvinyl chloride blood pressure cuffs, to polyester and nylon clothing materials. "Polymer Science" is a course that investigates these natural and man-made materials. We explore how these materials are synthesized, evaluated, and their commercial applications. We also review important properties that these materials possess, including their molecular, physical, chemical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties. Course Outcome After completing Polymer Science Fundamentals, students will be equipped with a basic understanding of the following: polymers and materials polymer mechanical properties analytical methods for material characterization Recommended Prerequisites This course is designed for students who possess a basic understanding of chemistry, and an interest in learning about polymer and material science. Professionals are also encouraged to register for this course, either as a means of professional development or as a broadening experience. Assessment Students will be assigned 5 homework assignments, and 5 exams. Training Avaliability and Delivery
