Description:
The module Basics of materials science shall enable that students are knowledgeable about the structure of engineering materials as well as about methods, phenomena, and processes enabling changes of such materials properties. Owing to that students shall achieve a better 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 and properties of engineering materials for technical and medical applications.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the modules: physics, chemistry, crystallography, materials testing methods and thermodynamics.
