Learning outcomes and practice of surface treatment of materials consists of a set of selected methods of making and testing finishes, allowing students to apply knowl-edge in practical exercises to address specific projects finishing of industrial products and consumer goods.
Above all, it is a knowledge of the basic principles of testing in the field of materi-als processing degraded by the environment.
Of the basic types of finishes, especially in terms of their designation, functions and applications of the products of different material composition and structural ar-rangement are projected output pre-edit process knowledge. Knowledge of protec-tive coatings, based on the description of the basic systems of industrially produced paints metallic coatings and new alloy coatings and composites (dispersion) coatings.

Students are expected to be familiar with the basic type of metallic and non-metallic materials, with the relationship between their structure and physico-chemical properties and basic type of surface treatments. Attainments of simultaneous legislation of surface engineering and methods of matematical statistics are an advantage.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

The course final grade is binary pass/fail statement. The pass grade will be granted on the basis of:
- 100% attendance of the course (lessons missed for medical and serious personal reasons need to be substituted at the end of the semester)
- submitting reports from all the lessons
- final presentation of reports

The goal is to provide a targeted audience interested in finishing materials, basic professional information on selected methods of assessing the degree of degradation of materials and testing methods and selected finishes, too.
It is based on the assumption that the theoretical knowledge of the degradation of materials and finishes, the students acquire in the course of lectures Surface treat-ments of materials.
The course is divided into 13 basic topics. Of these, the first four set to informs stu-dents with the basic approaches to materials degradation processes by the environ-ment. In view of the limited scope of the subject topics are focused on metals and plastics.
Eight of these topics introduces on the mastering basic methods of making and testing of coatings, especially in terms of their basic quality characteristics.
Problem areas are supplemented by the last topic – visiting professional workplace, in order to provide students with a more comprehensive view of reality surface engi-neering in industrial practice.

In the beginning of the lab lesson, the theoretical knowledge and preparation of students is briefly checked by means of a few oral questions.
A written report summarizing the work procedure, measured data and their interpretation must be composed for each of the 12 tasks. It must be submitted by the end of the semester at latest, preferably the following week after the task has been passed. Unsatisfactory reports are returned for corrections.
