About this course
Learning outcome
The course is conducted through video recordings, 2 hours of interactive lectures, 2 hours of computational exercises/data problems per week, as well as 2 hours of laboratory exercises per week (during parts of the course period).
The course utilizes a flipped classroom approach. In the video recordings, key topics in materials science and engineering are presented based on the textbook. In lectures, the various components of the course are integrated, and students work on conceptual and computational exercises which are then discussed. During computational exercises, students will solve computational and/or programming problems. In laboratory exercises, students will perform procedures, measure and interpret results and properties, and use microscopes.
- The lecturer will be available for question on appointment and can also be reached via Canvas.
- Basic math, programming, and physics skills at the university level are required, which can be covered with INF120, FYS101/FYS111, FYS102/FYS102A, MATH100/MATH111, KJM100.
- TBM120 - Mechanics of Materials and Structural Engineering Basics, KJM100 - Gemeral Chemistry (Basic course in chemistry)
- Written examination, 3 hours counts 80% and one 1h mid-term test counts 20%.
- The external and internal examiner jointly prepare the exam questions and the correction manual. The external examiner reviews the internal examiner's examination results by correcting a random sample of candidate¿s exams as a calibration according to the Department's guidelines for examination markings.
- Approved laboratory exercises and mini-projects.
- Lectures and exercises: 25 hours, 2 hours per week. Laboratory exercises: 18 hours, 2 hours per week.
Ranking:
1. students who have the course as mandatory in their study plan
2. students with most ECTS credits
It there is not enough slots in group one the students will be ranked by their ECTS credits.
Students who are joining the course for the first time have priority on the lab.
