Learning activities and methodology
During the lectures, the main concepts will be explained and the students will delve into them thorough short oral questions they should be reason out. During the fourteen weeks the lectures last, eight assessment exercises will be raised to the students to be individually solved with the aim of going more deeply into the contents taught during the lectures. Students should attend to two lab sessions, obtain the required experimental data and solve in small groups the raised questions. The lab session will have the following contents. -session 1: Corrosion -session 2: Coatings
Assessment System
  • % end-of-term-examination 40
  • % of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 60
