Material Technology is a second-year subject with a marked technological character. It is common for all students, regardless of the specific orientation. The objective is to present the fundamentals of Materials Science and Technology in a comprehensible way to students, focusing on the relationship between internal structure - properties - processing of materials.
The learning outcomes are focused on:
1. Understanding the fundamental concepts of bonds, structure and microstructure of different types of materials.
2. Understanding the relationship between the microstructure of the material and its mechanical, electrical, thermal and magnetic behaviour.
3. Knowing the main techniques of structural characterization of materials.
4. Acquiring skills in the handling of diagrams and graphics.
5. Be able to interpret and implement material testing standards.
6. Acquiring skill in performing tests.
7. Analyzing the results obtained taking the corresponding conclusions.
8. Developing scientific view point and experimental methodology in the approach andsolution of problems related to Materials Technology.
