Overview

In this Polymer Processing programme from the Atlantic Technological University the participants learn the characteristics of various polymers, the common polymer processes (including injection moulding, blow moulding, and extrusion as well as plastic part design), and factors in the design of tooling for these processes.

Candidates completing the B Eng in Polymer Processing meet the requirements of the internationally-recognised Six Sigma Green Belt Award. Candidates can attain this award in addition to their degree by passing an external Green Belt exam.

Careers
