Benefit from Engineering Methods
Product life, quality, and cost are key issues in all manufacturing sectors. The design of component parts must be adequate to ensure the desired life of a product. Parts must be able to resist aging, fatigue, corrosion and wear.

Product life, quality, cost and maintenance are key issues in all manufacturing sectors. The design of component parts must be adequate to ensure the desired life of a product. Parts must be able to resist aging, fatigue, corrosion and wear.
Combining chemistry, physics, and mechanical engineering with metallurgy and materials science/engineering, nanotechnology will contribute to virtually all engineering applications. The performance of most parts often depends on properties such as microhardness and strength. Although many types of treatments have been developed and are in use for modifying properties, new processes and technologies appear constantly, making the range of available treatments often bewildering. By attending this practical course, you’ll learn which treatments can benefit your manufacturing operations, and how to apply them.
Who Should Attend
This course will increase your understanding of nanotechnology in a short period of time. If you specify or will use nanotechnology in your next generation of products, you should plan to attend. Design engineers, materials engineers, R&D personnel, process engineers, mechanical or manufacturing engineers, product managers and others who want to learn the fundamentals and the prospects for future applications will also benefit substantially.
You will gain a broad-based understanding of all major engineering processes, how they are accomplished, and their advantages/disadvantages.
