Bachelor of Science in Polymer Materials Engineering

Western Washington University - International Study Center (StudyGroup)

Students enrolled in Western’s Polymer Materials Engineering (PME) program study the relationship between molecular structure, processing, and properties of polymers and composites. The PME curriculum prepares graduates who understand and apply established scientific and engineering knowledge to support engineering activities in manufacturing environments. The technical curriculum is built upon a firm base of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and materials science. Practical experience in design, materials, processing, economics, testing, characterization, and analysis is a crucial part of the hands-on curriculum that is provided in the program’s extensive and well-equipped laboratory facilities.
