Browse practical Materials Engineering courses on LearnU — learn from industry experts and earn a certificate.
Materials Engineering courses on LearnU are online programs for engineers and technical professionals involved in material selection, characterisation, and failure investigation across manufacturing, construction, oil and gas, and industrial sectors. These self-paced programs cover both the science of material behaviour and its practical engineering application to component design, quality control, and maintenance.
Core sub-topics include metals and alloys — crystal structure, heat treatment, and mechanical properties; polymer science and composite materials; corrosion mechanisms, electrochemical principles, and cathodic protection strategies; mechanical testing methods including tensile, hardness, and impact testing; and failure analysis methodology and engineering forensics. Courses carry a verifiable certificate of completion. For engineers applying materials knowledge to mechanical product and component design, the Mechanical Design category provides the design methodology and CAD skills that materials selection decisions feed into.
These programs serve engineers and technical professionals responsible for material decisions across the full engineering lifecycle:
For engineers who need a stronger foundation in the underlying scientific principles — chemistry, physics, and engineering thermodynamics — that materials science builds on, the Science and Technical Engineering category provides foundational engineering science programs.
Completing a Materials Engineering course on LearnU produces specific, material-science-applicable engineering skills:
