Teaching language
Suitable for English-speaking studentsObjectives
To identify the components involved in the design, fabrication and application of materials.
To provide a direct, rational connection between microscopic understanding and macroscopic properties.
Understand what holds materials together, why they organize themselves in simple or very complex structures, and how we characterize and describe these structures.
Fundamental knowledge about polymeric materials for use in engineering. Establish the connection between structure and physicochemical properties of polymers; identification of the advantages and disadvantages of these materials in relation to ceramics and metals.
Correlate the acquired understanding with the needs of engineering processes.
Learning outcomes and competences
Recognize relationships of interest between the structure and properties of a material.

Eligibility for exams
According to General Evaluation Rules of FEUP.
Calculation formula of final grade
CF = 0.25·T1 + 0.25·T2 + 0.25·APR + 0.25·ART
Legend:
T1: Mark Test 1
T2: Mark Test 2
APR: Mark Oral Presentation
ART: Mark Paper
In order to pass, it is necessary to obtain a final grade (CF) of 10 or higher.
For each Test there is a required minimum of 40%. Students who do not obtain the minimum in both tests will not be graded and will be excluded from the remaining evaluation.
Students who fail at least one of the tests (and only one) may attempt the makeover later at the examination term.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Cf. Art. 7º from NGA.
Classification improvement
Makeover of either, or both, examination tests. No makeover of any other component.Page generated on: 2024-10-02 at 15:02:37 | Acceptable Use Policy | Data Protection Policy | Complaint Portal
