Currently, it is interesting to look for material properties that not only provide benefits in mechanical behavior, but also other characteristics such as appearance, shine, touch, etc., that can become important when selecting a material or another with similar mechanical characteristics. Many of these parameters are variable and could even depend on social trends. The unstoppable advance of society and the importance of some properties of materials at different scales, make their study especially relevant within the field of Engineering.
The aim of this course is to introduce the main concepts of materials technology as well as to study the applications of the most common materials
In addition, in this subject skills will be developed to apply theoretical and practical knowledge in order to solve problems in reference to materials from a basic and multidisciplinary point of view
