Materials & Manufacturing Technology

Materials and Manufacturing Technology (MMT) is concerned with the generation and application of knowledge relating the composition and processing of materials to their properties and applications, as well as the manufacturing technologies needed for production.  Includes a very multidisciplinary approach, by establishing strong relationships with Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical & Computer Engineering to refine processing to achieve the most sophisticated engineering design.

When using Online or Internet Resources, consider Search Engines vs. metasites - evaluate resource - consider domain - .edu, .com, .gov, .org, etc.
