Ever wondered how engineers analyze materials at the microscopic scale?

The Materials Characterization with Scanning Electron Microscopy, or SEM, microcredential gives you hands-on experience with one of the most powerful tools used in modern engineering and manufacturing.

In this 10-hour program, you’ll learn how to operate a benchtop SEM and explore how materials behave under high-resolution imaging. Through guided lab sessions, you will:

  • Understand the physics behind SEM.
  • Prepare samples for metals, polymers and ceramics.
  • Capture and interpret high-quality SEM images.
  • Evaluate material structure and properties.

This course is ideal for students interested in materials science, semiconductor technologies and advanced manufacturing.
