Purpose and description of the content of education:
The Material Science course is intended to enable the student to become familiar with the structure of engineering materials and the ways, phenomena, and processes that make it possible to change the properties of such materials. Through this, the student should gain a better understanding of the correlation between the structure of engineering materials and the mechanisms that affect their properties. Understanding the relationship and correlation between the properties of engineering materials and their structure is expected to lead to a deeper understanding of the ability to shape the structure and properties of engineering materials for technical and medical applications.
