Entry knowledge

Students are expected to have general knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry acquired at secondary school. They should have the basic
knowledge of technological processes of iron and non-iron metals and their alloy.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Conditions for awarding the course-unit credit: Having done all the assigned topics in exercises and preparation of the respective written tasks.
The exam has a written and an oral part. In the oral part, students answers three questions.
Compulsory attendance at exercises, preparing written reports and reading a paper on an assigned topic. Absence from exercises is dealt with individually.

Aims

The course objective is to make students familiar with a group of materials that feature specific performance properties or extreme parameters, and with a
group of so-called materials for third-millennium technology. Students get a practical knowledge of all new advanced (mostly metallic) materials with the
exception of ceramic and polymer materials, which are dealt with in separate courses.
Students will gain the most recent information on the basic characteristics, processing technologies, performance and application of non-conventional
materials, materials with extreme parameters, and materials for the third millennium such as metallic glass and foam, nanonstructured materials and
intermetallics.
