Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course the Advanced ceramic materials connecting on the course Nonmetallic materials has to evolve the knowledges of students about preparation, structure and properties of most important ceramic materials.The lectures offer to students theoretical fundamentals and practical information about concrete applications of ceramic materials. The objective of the course is to provide to students advanced information about ceramic materials for structural, electrotechnical and (bio)mechanical applications from the view of relations between the structure of ceramic materials and their properties.
Prerequisites
The students could pass a test of Nonmetallic materials course and to have knowledges of physics, chemical thermodynamics and kinetics and synthesis of ceramics on the level of introductory university courses.
Co-requisites
Not applicable.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Conditions of credit landing: presence in all practical lessons and fulfilment of given tasks. In the case the student does not fulfill these conditions he can receive, in reasoned cases,compensatory conditions.
