Abstract

Within materials science and engineering industries there exists a need for continual professional development and lifelong learning. University materials science and engineering departments and materials related centers have highly qualified instructional faculty, and course management infrastructure that can be utilized to deliver needed continuing education to working professionals via distance learning. This work examines the development and first year delivery results of an online graduate certificate in modern materials characterization techniques for working scientists and engineers.
