Course detail
Ceramic Materials
FSI-WPKAcad. year: 2023/2024
Passing through the course students will be able to apply acquired knowledge in the solution of concrete problems of industrial practice particularly the problems connected with the selection of special structural materials. The course provides to students information for next specialized (e.g. PhD) study.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Conditions of credit landing: presence in all practical lessons and fulfilment of given tasks. Examination verifies the knowledge of the theory and its applications in solution of practical problems. The exam consists of written and oral parts; a student will pass the oral part even though he does not succeed in the written part.
Aims
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.
