Course content
- Structure, material properties (focus on mechanical) and areas of use for ceramics, metals, polymers and composites
- Introduction to energy technology (selected technologies for energy production and storage) and materials included in the technologies
- Primary production of materials and fabrication of products
- Sustainability and the life cycle of materials (production, fabrication, use and waste management)
Learning outcome
The candidate:
- Can describe and discuss relationships between crystal structure, microstructure, typical material properties and areas of use for metals, ceramics, polymers and composites
- Has an overview of mechanical testing and mechanical properties of materials, and can compare different material groups and test methods
- Can perform selected mechanical tests in the laboratory and process, evaluate and report experimental data
- Can describe the operation and principle of selected technologies for energy production and storage
- Can identify key materials that are included in selected energy technologies, and explain which material properties are important for the function
- Can describe selected production and fabrication processes for ceramics, metals, polymers and composites at a basic level
- Has basic knowledge of the life cycle of materials, and can assess how different life phases affect the goal of sustainable development
- Can use relevant computer tools, for example GRANTA EduPack, to compare and discuss different material properties and do simple life cycle analyzes
- Can carry out project work in groups and communicate the work orally
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercises, laboratory work, project work and self-study.
Expected time spent:
- Lectures: 55 hours
- Exercises: 30 hours
- Laboratory work: 20 hours
- Project work: 20 hours
- Self-study: 75 hours
- Total: 200 hours
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
- Project work
- Laboratory work
Further on evaluation
All compulsory work requirements (exercises, laboratory and project work) must be approved to take the final written examination. Information about requirements for the number of approved exercises and details about the laboratory an project work will be provided at the beginning of the semester. In case of re-sit exam, written exam may be changed to oral exam.
