Curriculum:
Some of the things you will learn include for example:
development of innovative and light-weight materials used for example in constructions and vehicles where stringent safety requirements have to be fulfilled;
optimize chemical composition and processing of metals and polymers, and, understand the fundamental properties of the different materials, how they relate to the material structure and how these are affected during processing. – simulate material properties and subsequently interpret the outcome of such simulations.
understand why a material degrades with time and by environmental influences and how surface engineering can increase its life span
how to process metals from secondary sources, such as scrap or e-waste, that are equally performing as metals produced from primary raw materials (ores)
Career opportunity:
Innovation and development of advanced products for new markets and the application of new technologies are essential for a healthy industry. Traditional and new important industrial sectors for experts in materials are:
