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 behavior.
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 skills in performing tests.
7. Analyzing the results obtained taking the corresponding conclusions.
8. Developing scientific viewpoint and experimental methodology in the approach and solution of problems related to Materials Technology.
