Learning activities and methodology
Practical sessions will include:
- Supervised labs. To follow these labs is mandatory. The completed handbooks must be done after one week of the final day of the labs.
- Supervised works. It value is 25% of the total mark. It will include the manufacturing and charaterization of a PM steel, as well the definition of the processing parameters of a real PM part.
