10 Credits SPRING

Cannot be taken with: AER444, MAT3334


Aims/Description: This unit introduces key concepts with regards to Materials 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution. Modelling and simulation is a key enabling technology within Aerospace Technology Institute's strategy to reach zero carbon emissions by 2050. Modelling allows for the rapid insertion of new materials and manufacturing processes, in addition to the improved understanding and optimisation of current methods. This unit aims to provide knowledge and experience of modelling tools that will underpin the UK's future advanced materials manufacturing base and obtain knowledge and experience of applying process modelling to solve industrial problems.
