Practical Materials Engineering on Industrial Artefacts (FSI-0MI)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Vít Jan, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚMVI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The objective is to introduce second year students to practical use of materials engineering methods. Students have hands on experience with laboratory equipment and can find the principles that are lectured in theory having real effect.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Practical experience with material engineering analysis methods.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of material science, mathematics, chemistry and physics on the first year level is expected.
Course contents:
The seminar offers an insight in practical materials engineering. By hands-on experience, the students learn how to apply basic principles of material science on the results they can see on samples prepared by classical materials engineering approaches.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The results will be publicly presented. Based on the presentation , credits are awarded.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Since this is an electorial course, the activities in this course are assessed on the basis of the student's own results obtained in the lab, and the quality of the final presentation.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  4 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
    Laboratory exercise  4 × 3 hrs. compulsory                  
    Exercise  1 × 3 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture 1. Introduction in materials engienringapproach and methods for analysing industrial failures
2. Case studies of industrial failures
3. Case studies of industrial failures
4. Techniques available at the laboratories, choice of artifacts to be analysed
    Laboratory exercise 1. Preparation of samples
2. Observations, measurements
3. Observations, measurements
4. Summary of the results, additional measurements
