Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
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.
