About This Course
AI-Driven Design of Smart Polymer Composites: From Concept to Manufacturing follows the whole journey of bringing a smart composite into being. You learn to translate a performance concept into material and design targets, use AI to explore and optimise the composite design space against those targets, and carry the design through to manufacturability and process design. The course emphasises the concept-to-production thread that turns a promising material idea into something makeable. You finish able to reason about the full AI-assisted composite development lifecycle. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
