Purpose and description of the content of education:
The Materials Engineering module aims to provide students with knowledge about the structure, properties, and applications of engineering materials, as well as the processes that shape their performance parameters. It combines concepts related to metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites with the principles of material selection for specific technical and medical applications. Students acquire the ability to analyze the correlation between the structure and properties of materials, plan and evaluate technological processes, and predict the impact of microstructural changes on their functionality. The module prepares students to consciously and effectively shape material properties, apply knowledge in laboratory research, and make engineering decisions in industry and research and development institutions.
