Learning Outcomes

Students will be aware of the most common construction materials and how they are used. They will understand the relations between material selection and production methods. Students will know the more common production methods and machinery used in the field of engineering and know how to evaluate the suitability of a chosen production method.

Student's Workload

The total work load is 105 hours, consisting of 55 hours of scheduled studies and 50 hours of self-studies

Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses

No previous studies are required.

Contents

Types of materials and principles of material selection, internal structure of metals, phase diagrams,production of steel, classical heat treatment processes, steel standards, properties and use of non-ferrous metals, properties and use of plastics and plastic composites, properties and use of ceramics, overview to production methods, casting techniques, welding techniques, fundamentals of metal machining, introduction to NC technology

Recommended or Required Reading

- Online lecture material
- Online, field-related material

Mode of Delivery / Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

- Interactive lectures
- Assignments
- Seminar presentations

Assessment Criteria

A satisfactory grade is reached by accomplishing both the laboratory assingnments and seminars and by mastering the fundamental issues of the contents. A good grade requires the ability to solve rather simple problems of material and manufacturing technology. The requirements of excellent grade are still higher, the student must be able to show a deep and comprehensive understanding of the role of material and manufacturing technology as a part of the industrial world.

Assessment Methods

- Two interim exams or one final exam
- Approved assignments

Work Placement

None
