Introduction
This course introduces learners to Thermal and Surface Analysis techniques used to evaluate material properties. Learners will explore how thermal analysis helps assess material behaviour under temperature changes and understand key surface characterisation methods such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger Spectroscopy. The course covers procedures, data interpretation, and practical industry applications. Learners will develop the skills to choose the right techniques for different materials, conduct failure analysis, and support material investigations. These competencies also enable learners to contribute to research and development (R&D) planning and advise on equipment needs in their organisations.This course is credit-bearing (2AU) and stackable to:
- Graduate Certificate in Materials Science and Engineering (9 AU)
- FlexiMasters in Materials Science and Engineering (15 AU)
- Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering (30 AU)
Learners will receive their Statement of Accomplishment (for a grade of D and above) or Certificate of Participation for each course—dependent upon their assessment performance.
This course is part of the FlexiMasters in Materials Science and Engineering.
Suitable for professionals working in Engineering, Quality Control, Failure Analysis, Manufacturing and Research and Development.
