Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

Justification

The four major elements of a materials engineering course are the structure, properties, processing and performance of materials. This curriculum unit is focused on the component processing with a particular highlight in the processing of metallic materials.

Objective

The fundamental aim is to prepare graduates to handle industrial process of joining, cutting, forming and forging, using the available innovative tools and taking into account the improvement or innovation of processes and methods and the correct use of materials, as well as a knowledge in regulations.

Learning outcomes and competences

With this curriculum unit students will: -develop an understanding of various metallic materials processing techniques; -take contact with the latest techniques in this field; -are better able to design and implement systems, choosing materials and techniques suitable for a specific problem; -develop techniques and skills for metallurgical practice; -integrate knowledge of various processes; -make contact with environmental issues, with the regulations and procedures of the various projects; -develop the teamwork and the oral and written communication skills.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

The knowledge of the properties of materials, in particular, of metallic materials, it is essential for the acquisition of the fundamental concepts of this course.

Program
