The
Manufacturing Science
Laboratory at Lehigh University
|
Welcome
to the web site of the Manufacturing Science Laboratory, located in the
Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics at Lehigh University. The Lehigh University
Manufacturing
Science Laboratory is the home for research related to a number of
manufacturing processes. Polymer
processing exists as one of the primary focus areas worked on in the
Laboratory. At present, affiliated faculty
members and
students are working to advance both basic science and applied
technology
related to processes such as injection molding (nano/micro to macro),
thermoforming, blow
molding,
and extrusion.

| Plastics
Education and Research at Lehigh University |
| Lehigh University has had a formal Polymer
Science
and Engineering Program since 1975. The
objectives of the program include the development of new plastics
technology
and the preparation of first-rate scientists and engineers with
proficiency in
polymer related areas. The program is a
true cross-disciplinary collaboration between College of Arts and Science and the P.C.
Rossin
College of Engineering and Applied Science. Students
enrolled can elect to pursue both masters and
doctoral
degrees
in the field of Polymer Science and Engineering. As
an active participant in the Lehigh
Educational Satellite Network, the program also offers full masters
degrees via
distance education. Over twenty faculty
members and a wide range of distributed laboratories support the
program. Between 50 and 75 students
participate in the
program annually. |
