Description and outcomes
The existing curriculum provides basic knowledge of polymer materials but has limited exposure to practical aspects of plastics technology, including plastic processing methods, material selection, product development, industrial applications, and recent developments in sustainable plastics. The workshop bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and industrial practices.
Key outcomes
Students will be able to understand the basic principles of plastics technology and identify different types of plastics and their properties. They will gain awareness of major plastic processing techniques, industrial applications, material selection and quality considerations. Students will also understand the importance of plastic recycling and sustainable plastic technologies.
