About this course
The course content covers chemical bonding, crystal structures, material defects, diffusion processes in solids, as well as fundamental electrical and optical properties. It also includes phase diagrams, microstructural changes, metallographic techniques, mechanical deformation, fracture mechanisms, and thermomechanical material processing. The main focus is on the properties of metals, but selected topics related to ceramics and semiconductors are also included.
Learning outcome
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Identify and explain the relationship between the chemical composition, bonds, and structural organization of materials and their properties.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental principles of materials science, enabling independent engagement with specialized literature on the composition, structure, properties, performance, and applications of a wide range of materials.
- Analyze and characterize the chemical composition and structure of various materials, assessing these in relation to the materials' properties and potential applications.
- Apply various techniques for material characterization and computational methods to determine the properties of materials.
