Overview

The UMass Lowell Plastics Engineering Department is an internationally recognized leader in plastics engineering education. Students will begin their first year with Introduction to Plastics Engineering (design) and Introduction to Polymer Sustainability (materials). Sophomore year brings courses and hands-on laboratories in basic plastics materials, processing (manufacturing), and the design and automation of processing machinery. In their junior year, students will take intermediate level courses and hands-on laboratories in polymer materials, processing and design — including the design and manufacturing of an injection mold. During their senior year, students will choose among advanced courses and a student-selected capstone project. All students also take the Professional Development Seminar. Most students then participate one or more cooperative work experiences. Besides the plastics engineering curriculum, relevant humanities and social science courses are included to create well-rounded graduates with strong communications skills.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
