Engineering Materials - Selected Topics (FSI-0SV)

Academic year 2026/2027
Supervisor: Ing. Eva Molliková, Ph.D.,Paed IGIP  
Supervising institute: ÚMVI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:

This subject is created as a repeating and refreshing to the subject 3SV - Structure and properties of materials and its aim is to help students:
- to make clear informations about composition, structure, technological treatment and mechanical properties of materials
- to understand the fundametals of above-mentioned phenomenons.
Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:

Basic course BUM - Introduction to material sciences.
Course contents:

The subject - with great space for questions and in more or less discussion form - sorts and complements informations given in parallel subject 3SV - Structure and properties of materials. Talk will be about:
- fase transformations during the heat treatment of metals and alloys
- structural materials (metals,ceramics, polymers and composites) - their chemical composition and technological treatment in relation to their crystallographic, sub-structural, structural, and mechanical properties
- degradation processes resulting from the practical application of these materials
- principles of selecting materials for engineering constructions.

In the second half of semester students have to pass the test of knowledge. Successful going through the test is essential condition for gaining the credits.  
Teaching methods and criteria:
 
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

The subject is facultative and voluntary - finished with credit. Student must be active and interested in problems of studied subject. In the second half of semester students have to pass the test of knowledge. Successful going through the test is essential condition for gaining the credits.
