2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
The course focuses on deepening the understanding of the threefold relationship between structure, properties and processing of materials, on the properties, standardization and applications of main types of materials available. In this context, it focuses on methods of determining various properties of materials, ways of controlling and intervening in their structure to obtain the desired characteristics and on various industrial treatments to determine their shape. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to face the scientific and professional reality regarding the practical use of existing, modified and new materials, for the design and creation of products and systems, and be familiar with the latest scientific research to modify the properties and behavior of existing materials and the development of new and advanced materials, taking into account the protection of the environment and human health, as well as wider social acceptance. | |

3. COURSE CONTENTS
• Phase diagrams of metallic materials. Iron-Carbon equilibrium diagram • Phase transformations. Isothermal transformation diagrams • Industrial alloys and other metallic materials • Non-metallic materials, structures and properties (Ceramics, glasses and cements) • Composite materials. Technologies for strengthening and improving metal and ceramic materials (with fiber admixtures, etc., with heat treatments, cooling, etc.). Properties and applications of composite materials. • Properties of materials (apart from mechanical ones): Thermal properties. Electrical properties of metals, semiconductors, insulators. Dielectric properties. Magnetic properties of materials (soft, ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, etc.). Optical properties of materials and correlation with crystal structure • Formation methods – industrial processing of materials. • Utilization of materials in modern applications: Microelectronics, photocatalysis, electrochemical fuel cells, optical fiber networks, solar systems, etc. |
4. TEACHING METHODS – ASSESSMENT
| MODE OF DELIVERY | Classroom / Face to face | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY | • Extensive use of electronic bibliographic databases (Scopus, ScienceDirect, Springerlink) during Lectures, Individual/Group Work • Support of the learning process through the e-class electronic platform • Constant teacher-student communication and collaboration via e-mail | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
TEACHING METHODS |

| ASSESSMENT METHODS | Two examination method are provided: a) final written exam, with 10 short-answer questions covering the entire scope of the material. b) evaluation of the assigned coursework (choosing to carry out coursework is optional). The coursework grade will be a result of the written report produced and of the presentation of the work. Any students choosing this option will be graded as follows: Final grade = 0.5xa + 0.5xb |
