Master's programme Sustainability and Plastics Management (SPM) 2025W |
| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| The students are able to apply and critically evaluate the methods and procedures of product development suitable for processing. You can use product design methods, material selection techniques and simulation tools to develop polymer-based products and processes.
|
|
| Skills |
Knowledge |
- To explain product development processes in the field of plastics technology and to understand their significance for industrial practice [k2].
- Apply methods of product design, material selection and prototyping, both physical and virtual [k3].
- To use tools for process and component simulation to evaluate the feasibility and optimization of polymer components [k3, k5].
- To analyze the selection of suitable materials and manufacturing processes and to justify their suitability for specific applications [k4, k5].
- To develop a concept design for a polymer component that takes both functional and economic aspects into account [k6].
