9 Material Engineering *
Weekly hours: 6
Credits: 7
Lectures: 4 SU, 2 Pr
Assessment: See Study Plan
Aim:
� Knowledge of fundamental relations between structures, properties and technologies of materials
� Ability to choose materials for the development of precision engineering products with proper
decision criteria
� Overview of properties of important functional materials including testing
� Ability to realise future trends in material science
Content:
� Properties of 4 main material classes including examples
� Materials and energy; terms of balance and non-balance
� Material properties derived from atomic- and micro-structures
� Main material properties including test procedures from the application point of view
� Materials in equilibrium: phase equilibria and phase diagrams
� Seeding and material transport mechanisms
� Phase non-equilibria: grain segregation, precipitations, thermal treatment of steel and other
dedicated materials
� Phase boundary non-equilibration: recreation, recristallisation, Ostwald ripening
� Selected modern functional materials for applications in precision engineering: structure,
properties and application examples

Workload:
It is expected that the average student will require 210 hours of study to acquire the necessary
knowledge and abilities. These hours can be divided as follows:
68 hours attendance of lectures and practical courses
48 hours regular study of the syllabus
48 hours preparation of exercises and private study
46 hours exam preparation
This is worth 7 credits.
