Course detail
Introduction to Material Science and Engineering
FP-BumvPAcad. year: 2018/2019
The course acquaints the students with the basic knowledge about internal structure of technical materials, their phase composition and relates the material's chemical composition together with their structure and application properties. At the same time, it introduces some basic technologies used for processing the technical materials in engineering practice.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
The students will gain knowledge about the basis of physico-chemical processes which are crucially involved in determination of the application properties of the materials and their processing technologies. This knowledge is necessary in order to obtain an image about the use of materials in engineering practice.
Prerequisites
Fundamental knowledge of secondary-school physics and chemistry.
