The module aims to provide students with an introduction to alloys additive manufacturing (AM) incorporating four aspects: production, processing, design, and sustainability. With a focus on metallic powder technologies, the module will introduce the key production technologies for the production of advanced powders for AM, reviewing the different families of alloys commercially available for AM. The majority of these alloys were specifically designed wrought technologies, so their microstructure is a direct response to hot and cold working schemes. The AM microstructures are then reviewed with a focus on the challenges to design new alloys to satisfy the growing demand for metal products AM, which is one of the fastest growing manufacturing industries in the UK and the world. Such alloy design space offers the opportunity to transform the emerging AM technology into sustainable, the parameters of such transformation are outlined in the module.

Students will be taught the course material in lectures, where production and processing principles will be introduced, as well as the sustainability challenges. Video presentations of UK-based production facilities will be used to illustrate those facilities. Computational thermodynamics will be adopted to describe the microstructures resulting from AM, and to explore the compositional additions and process parameters to attain sustainable AM alloys. The modelling tools presented will provide the student with the ability to predict the microstructure and some mechanical properties for new 3D printed products. A design and modelling project will be provided to students, and the assessment will be made in groups.

This module is linked to SESG3024 and SESM6044 Manufacturing and Materials, and to SESG6042 Materials Engineering for Transport Applications. Those courses provide a complementary overview of related microstructures, alloy families, alloy production and manufacturing processes. See comments above.

Alternative investment strategies became increasingly popular among investors to achieve better returns. This module looks beyond the traditional investments such as shares and bonds. It covers a range of topics that introduce the world of alternative investment strategies; in particular hedge funds, private equity and real estate investment trusts. Lectures are followed by in-depth practical examples using statistical packages, discussions and tools that show the real world implications.

The history of the post-war world has been powerfully shaped by the decisions and actions of American political and military leaders, and by the deployment of American defense technologies. This module considers the significance of humanitarian concerns within US national security discourse from the fire-bombing of Germany and Japan during the Second World War through to the start of the Vietnam War. It also examines the actual impacts of American war-making and war-fighting technologies upon the lives of others, including the population of Hiroshima, the victims of napalm in Korea, those exposed to radioactive fallout from US nuclear tests, and the inhabitants of strategic hamlets in Vietnam.

This module continues the exploration of the impact of defense technologies and humanitarian concerns upon US foreign policy from the escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War into the post-Cold War era. It will examine the US approach to fighting the Vietnam War, including the strategy of attrition, the use of napalm, instances of atrocity, and the use of strategic bombing. It will also consider the role played by the United States in instances of genocide or regime change in Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Chile, and its efforts to explicitly integrate a concern with human rights into its foreign policy from the mid-1970s onwards. The module will conclude with sessions devoted to the dilemmas confronting American foreign policy in the post-Cold War eras, looking at the first Gulf War, the intervention in Somalia and the Rwandan genocide.
