Students should be aware about “processing, structure, properties and performance” of materials and apply their knowledge to the respective applications. Students should also be capable of assessing some materials properties and knowing how to select the most important properties to specific cases of application.
Students will have a chance to work individually and in group and to improve their oral and written communication skills, as well as to criticize opinions.
- relationship between structure, properties, processing methods and performance of the materials
- develop the ability to work in group
- develop the ability to work in a chemistry lab
- basic knowledge of Chemistry and Physics
Theoretical program (each theme corresponds to one class)
1. Basic notions and classification of materials
2. Chemical connection and electronic structure of atoms
3. Crystalline structure of metals
4. Elastic and plastic behavior
5. Metals deformation, hardening and smoothing
6. Fracture and fatigue
7. Processing of metal alloys
8. Characteristics of metal alloys
9. Structure of polymers and ceramics
10. Conformation of polymers, ceramics and composites
11. Types of application of non-metal materials
12. Composites
13. Electrochemistry
14. Corrosion
15. Electric conductors
16. Semi-conductors
17. Dielectrics and other electric characteristics
18. Thermal properties

Practical and Theoretical-Practical Program (each theme corresponds to one class)
1. Linear dimension, mass and temperature measurement; significant figures; international system of units
2. Volume measurement; solution preparation
3. Visit to materials’ sample board; simple techniques of material identification
4. Tensile, shock and hardness testing; simple techniques of materials identification
5. Characterization of annealing metals
6. Casting, deformation, cut and welding
7. Characterization of polymers and ceramics
8. Concentration cells and galvanic cells
9. Electrochemical revetments
10. Electrical testing and applications; Dielectrics
11. Thermal and magnetic testing
Theoretical classes will be based on the presentation of the themes of the course. For this reason, classes will be divided, due to the amount of students enrolled.
In the first theoretical class of the semester, students will be informed about the time professors are available to talk with students:
- LFM -
- JCF -
- JDS -
- SS -
- VP -
Practical classes will be based on testing and problem solving.
Students will have to write a report for every group assignment and the content will have to be presented. Students will also be asked to do homework and it will be taken into account in the final mark.

Students will be admitted to exams if:
- they attend to the practical classes and do not miss more classes than allowed by FEUP’s rules;
- they achieve a minimum grade of 8.5 in the theoretical component
- they achieve a minimum grade of 8.5 in the practical component
Final Mark will be based on the average mark of both components (theoretical and practical).
Theoretical component is worth 75%, while the practical component is worth 25%.
The mark of the theoretical component will be based on the average mark of the two tests (multiple choice).
The mark of the practical component will be based on the mark of the reports, presentations, homework and class performance.
Final mark will be established by the following principles:
- if the average mark is 8 or lower, students will fail the course;
- if the average mark is 9, students will have to attend an oral exam (no more than 15 minutes);
- if the average mark is from 10 to 16, students will complete the course with that mark;
- if the average mark is 16 or higher, students will have to attend an oral exam (no more than 30 minutes). Students will earn a minimum grade of 16.
Students who did not attend the tests and who are admitted to exams (See “Admission to Exams”) will have to attend a written exam, which will be their theoretical component of assessment.
Students’ final mark will be based on the principles set on “Final Mark”.
