Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Methods of Research on the Structure and Properties of Materials" module is designed to enable students to expand their knowledge of the phenomena, principles of operation, and design of research equipment used in advanced techniques and measurement methods for characterizing the fundamental properties of engineering materials. This module will enable students to master the operation of research equipment and acquire the skills to interpret measurement results. Understanding the phenomena and principles of operation will lead to the skillful application of appropriate research techniques to assess the structure and properties of materials.
