Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

After the course the student understands the hierarchical structure of inorganic materials, how the mocroscopic properties of materials can be derived on the basis of lower level properties. In additio, the student should understand and utilize the thermodynamic consepts and stability diagrams for solving materials scientific problems.  To know how the typical properties of different material groups and  based on this their different usages in electronic and medical technologies.
