Innovate Material Analysis and Production with Computational Techniques
One of a few in the country, Michigan Tech's certificate in Computational Materials Science provides you with fundamental knowledge and understanding of the physical principles and practical skills to perform computational materials research.
Who is this Certificate For?
This certificate is for qualified professionals who want to enhance their skill set and can be a foundation to continue toward a graduate degree. It is also valuable for degree-seeking students looking to develop a concentration that gives them an edge in their career path.
What You Need to Know
Students in the graduate certificate in Computational Materials Science program learn to apply computational thermodynamic and kinetic principles, numerical algorithms, and computer programming to simulate the materials processes needed to develop specific microstructures and properties, and study Processing-Microstructure-Property relationships. Build skills in communication, project development, and literature review based on real-world problems.
Computational methods are critical to materials research and engineering, revolutionizing the study of materials by complementing experimental and theoretical analysis with computational methods—machine learning, modeling, and simulation.
