CB1: Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB2: Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CG1: Ability to resolve problems with initiative, creativity decision-making and critical reasoning skills, and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the Industrial Engineering area. CG18: Knowledge of the fundamentals of materials science, technology and chemistry. Understanding of the relation between the microstructure, synthesis and processing, and materials properties.

Throughout the fourteen weeks of class, six evaluable exercises will be proposed that students must solve to delve into the content taught during the face-to-face sessions. Students will have 8 days to solve the exercises. These will be published in Aula Global immediately after the delivery of the following face-to-face sessions: - Exercise 1: session 2 - Exercise 2: session 4 - Exercise 3: session 9 - Exercise 4: session 11 Students must attend two laboratory sessions, obtain the experimental data and complete the corresponding scripts in small groups. The laboratory sessions will have to arrive within the class schedule and on the following dates - Session 11 - Session 12 There will be three multiple choice questionnaires during the classes. The questionnaires will be face-to-face, in the classroom, at the beginning of the session. They wil take place during the 7th and 15th sesions. Students may request by email all those tutorials (individual or in small groups) that they believe are necessary to properly assimilate the concepts taught in class.
