Description:
The module Materials science shall enable that students are knowledgeable about engineering materials structure and about phenomena and processes enabling its shaping. Owing to that students shall achieve understanding of correlations between engineering materials structure and mechanisms affecting their properties. The understanding of relationships and correlations between engineering materials properties and their structure shall result in deepening the skill to shape the structure so as to obtain designed properties of materials for technical and medical applications.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of level I modules education in physics, chemistry, rudiments of materials science or materials science in the field of technical sciences.
