Course Content About Polymer Processing
Use of polymers for a variety of engineering, medical-device, pharmaceutical and general consumer applications continues to grow. Polymer Processing focuses on the materials, processes, and tooling used in relation to polymers. Students completing the BEng in Polymer Processing meet the requirements of the internationally recognised Six Sigma Green Belt award. Students receive this award in addition to their degree by sitting an external Green Belt exam.

About this Programme
This programme was developed jointly by IT Sligo and Athlone IT, and leads to a joint award by both Institutes. In this programme participants learn the characteristics of various polymers, the common polymer processes (including injection moulding, blow moulding and extrusion) and factors in the design of tooling for these processes. The course also presents modules that are relevant to automated production (such as CIM and automation technology and energy and utilities management) and management modules relating to Six Sigma methodology.

Financial Support This course has been approved by ULearning Skillnet for a fees subsidy of up to 25% for students whose company is a member of the ULearning Skillnet network.

There are also a limited number of free places available for unemployed students who meet the required criteria by ULearning Skillnet.

Methods of Assessment Programme completion requires a substantial industry based project, reported in the form of management report. The expectation that the project would realise savings of at least €30,000 for the participant organisation. The project will require the application of the concepts covered in the course. The output of the project should involve a significant benefit to the company. The Student, Supervisor and Company will agree the success metric for the project as part of the topic selection process.

Examples of success metrics could include:

the improvement of a specified performance indicator by an agreed amount.
the quantifiable addition of value to process or service which was the focus of the project.
a cost saving of the order of €30,000 which must be verified by the company, or in the case of a Small to Medium Enterprises, (SMEs, <250 employees), project savings must amount to 0.1% of annual turnover.
An example could be a kanban system that could result in cost savings through inventory reduction to the value of €50,000, or an increase in machine efficiency by 5%, or a reduction process cycle time by 10%.
