Course detail
Chapters of Materials Engineering
FSI-0MEAcad. year: 2019/2020
The course "Lectures of materials engineering" should provide necessary additional knowledge to students studying the master programme“Materials engineering”. Itis intended for absolvents of bachelor programmes of general types, which do not cover this topic.It is focused onthe set of basic knowledge, which includes the metallic and non-metallic materials, their production and their thermal processing. Students gain a knowledge of engineering materials,its degradation processes and modern experimental methods for testing of materials. Attendance of the course is a prerequisite for a creative work in the field of materials engineering.
