Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Materials Science and Engineering
Objectives
- Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision making, creativity, critical reasoning and to communicate and transmit knowledge, abilities and skills in the field of the selection of materials in Industrial Engineering. - Ability to design a system, component or process from the point of view of the selection of materials in the field of Industrial Technologies, to meet the required specifications. - Knowledge and ability to apply current legislation as well as the specifications, regulations and mandatory standards for materials selection processes in the field of Industrial Engineering. - Knowledge and ability to apply the principles and methods of quality required in the material selection processes. - Knowledge and ability to apply computational and experimental tools for the analysis and quantification of Industrial Engineering problems in the field of material selection. - To develop abilities to work in groups and distribute work to face up to complex problems. - To extrapolate materials selection procedures to other engineering problems. - To communicate (oral and written) concepts, developments and results related to materials selection. Overcoming this subject guarantees the student has learn to: - Be able to establish procedures of materials selection. - Be able to evaluate reasons to select and use materials in individual aplications. - Understand how slection procedure affects selection of materials.
Skills and learning outcomes
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. CB3. Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) in order to make judgements which include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues. CB5. Students will have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy. CG1. Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision-making, creativity, critical reasoning and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of Industrial Engineering. CG3. Ability to design a system, component or process in the field of Industrial Technologies to meet the required specifications CG4.
