Module name: Materials science
Module code: IM2A_NOM
Programme code: W4-S2MAI19.2025
Semester: summer semester 2025/2026
Language of instruction: Polish
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 4
Purpose and description of the content of education:
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.
