- Description
-
In the study course students are introduced to the role of materials in ensuring human existence, simple materials used in technology, composite materials and their applications.
Students are explained different levels of material structure and the relationship to their properties, the practical forms of materials and methods for obtaining them, as well as the technological properties and the life cycle of materials. The acquired knowledge allows students to orientate in a wide range of materials used in the technique and choose the appropriate material for a particular application.
Course contents:- Groups of materials and their general properties.
- Electrical conductors and semiconductors.
- Dielectrics (insulators).
- Magnetic materials.
