Course detail

Practical Materials Engineering on Industrial Artefacts

FSI-0MIAcad. year: 2024/2025

The seminar offers an insight in practical materials engineering. By hands-on experience, the students learn how to apply basic principles of material science on the results they can see on samples prepared by classical materials engineering approaches.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

2

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

doc. Ing. Vít Jan, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Materials Science and Engineering (ÚMVI)

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of material science, mathematics, chemistry and physics on the first year level is expected.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The results will be publicly presented. Based on the presentation , credits are awarded.
Since this is an electorial course, the activities in this course are assessed on the basis of the student's own results obtained in the lab, and the quality of the final presentation.

Aims

The objective is to introduce second year students to practical use of materials engineering methods. Students have hands on experience with laboratory equipment and can find the principles that are lectured in theory having real effect.
Practical experience with material engineering analysis methods.
