Knowledge and Understanding:
The student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of materials, their properties, and the main manufacturing processes.
Applied Knowledge and Understanding:
The student must be able to select, at least preliminarily, the most suitable material for a specific application.
Making Judgments:
The student must interpret relevant data to independently understand the behavior of materials.
Communication Skills:
The student must be able to communicate information, ideas, problems, and solutions to both specialists and non-specialists.
Learning Skills:
The objective is also to develop the skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
Chemistry knowledge
The course includes lectures and classroom exercises on the topics covered.
The assessment will be conducted through an Oral Exam, which consists of a discussion on the topics covered in the course.
The final grade will be assigned according to the following evaluation criteria:
30 - 30 cum laude: excellent knowledge of the topics, excellent command of language, complete and original interpretative ability, strong ability to independently apply knowledge to solve the proposed problems;
26 - 29: complete knowledge of the topics, good command of language, complete and effective interpretative ability, able to independently apply knowledge to solve the proposed problems;
24 - 25: knowledge of the topics with a good level of understanding, reasonable command of language, correct and confident interpretative ability, ability to correctly apply most of the knowledge to solve the proposed problems;
21 - 23: adequate knowledge of the topics, but lack of mastery, satisfactory command of language, correct interpretative ability, limited ability to independently apply knowledge to solve the proposed problems;
18-20: Basic knowledge of the main topics and technical language, sufficient interpretative skills,
ability to apply acquired knowledge;
Insufficient: Does not possess an acceptable knowledge of the topics covered during the course.
Materials Science and Engineering, An Introduction - William D. Callister, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The course aims to provide students with the elements for understanding the properties and engineering behavior of materials, the effect of chemical composition and microstructure on different classes of materials, and the various technologies for processing and producing materials.
