Course detail

Materials in Mechanical Engineering

FP-BmsPAcad. year: 2025/2026

Students will get an overview of the nature of the physico-chemical processes that are crucially involved in the complex useful properties of materials and technologies of their processing. This knowledge is essential to the concept of use materials in engineering practice

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

6

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of terms.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Students will obtain credit on the basis of processed laboratory protocols (maximum 40 bits) and computer test (max. 10 b). To obtain a credit, the student must earn a minimum. 25 b.
Written exam (max 50 pts)
For the overall assessment of the course, the points obtained for the credit and the exam are summarized.

Awarding the course. Participation in practices is mandatory, must be properly excused absence. Unit credit is conditional on having participated in all exercises and worked out the reports from exercises in keeping with the teacher's instructions. Absence from exercises must be accounted for.

Aims

The objective of course is to provide knowledge on the composition, structure, and treatment of materials in relation to their properties that are relevant for treatment technologies and design applications. It enables understanding the essence of the above processes and their mutual causal relations. The subject creates theoretical and practical knowledge of the basic methods of material testing and operational diagnostics.
