Learning outcomes of the course unit
Student will acquire necessary knowledge in the field of physical metallurgy of solid matter so he/she will be able to understand to a large number of materials phenomena. Modern physics knowledge will be useful for comprehension of processes, taking places in technical materials.
Prerequisites
The course lies on the knowledge in the field of atomic and quantum physics, chemical thermodynamic and solid matter structure, both crystalline and non-crystalline.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Student’s classification depends on his/her activity in exercises and elaboration of reports at sufficient graphical and subject level. During the exam, the student will prove his/her knowledge in a written test, amending it partially in oral part. Final classification encompasses: laboratory seminar classification including the reports, written exam outcome and the oral exam result.
Aims
The goal of this course is to elucidate physical basis of phenomena taking places in a materials substructure that are connected with properties of a solid matter. Acquired knowledge will serve as a fundament for assessment of influence of certain manufacturing technology on materials properties. The task also is to provide information about experimental methods used for materials examination.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Student’s attendance at the exercise is mandatory and is checked by the teacher. Absence has to be authorized properly. Missed lessons are to be compensated in the extent that depends on both the content and amount of the lessons.
