The formal course requirements of the proposed Master of Science in Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) degree are 36 units of additive manufacturing core, 24 units of additive breadth, 24 units of disciplinary concentration, and 12 units of breadth elective. The total is 96 units.
The required three Additive Core courses will be offered and managed by the MSAM program. Breadth and Elective courses are offered by each associated engineering department, and these courses are updated based on what is available each semester. The MSAM program will leverage CIT’s significant faculty expertise and strengths in advanced manufacturing. The three required Additive Core courses ensure that students gain the knowledge of and grounding in additive manufacturing specifically. The two required Additive Breadth courses explore design, commercialization and computational materials topics in the context of AM applications. The technical depth in engineering is ensured by the disciplinary concentration that the student selects. The breadth elective gives flexibility and leverages the interdisciplinary strengths of CMU.
