Summary
The course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of ongoing advanced manufacturing research topics and an opportunity for students to investigate current research trends.
Content
The core lectures will reflect the diversity of ongoing advanced manufacturing research at EPFL and will include selected topics in composites, metals, fibers, printing techniques, nano-scale fabrication, laser-based processing and stretchable electronics and interfaces. Lecturers will mainly be from the EPFL's program on advanced manufacturing.
The course will start on Monday 27th October and end on 31st October 2025 (not including self-study and preparation time).
The course format will be a lecture in the morning and one in the afternoon given by an expert in the field, and a lab-tour to illustrate the research ongoing in the field.
The exam format is based on series of quiz specific to each topic presented.
