Description of contents: programme

Study of different materials: metallic, ceramic, polymers and composites. Manufacturing and treating techniques of materials. Structure of materials. Mechanical testing of materials. Conductor, semiconductor, isolating materials: application in electric technology. Materials performance. Selection criteria.

Learning activities and methodology

Masterly classes, classes to solve doubts in reduced groups, student presentations, individual tutorship and personal work of the student; oriented to acquire theoretical knowledge (3 ECTS credits). Laboratory classes, classes for solving problems in reduced groups; individual tutorship and personal work of the student; oriented to acquire practical knowledge related to subject program (3 ECTS credits).

Assessment System

The laboratory is MANDATORY ATTENDANCE. The entrance to the laboratory is enabled once the student has viewed the videos of general safety and safety in the laboratory of materials available in Aula Global and answered the corresponding tests correctly. entry to the laboratory will not be allowed if the tests have not been carried out correctly. NON-ATTENDANCE TO THE LABORATORY WITHOUT JUSTIFIED CAUSE IMPLIES SUSPENDING THE CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT.

40% of the continuous evaluation mark will be given by:

30%: Three partial exams, each of them with a value of 10%, which will be carried out during class hours.
10%: Laboratory practices carried out outside class hours. The final grade of the laboratory will be given by the behavior in the laboratory, completion of the practice and completion of the questionnaire at the end of each session.

60% of the mark will be given by the mark of the final exam as long as it is higher than 4.
