2. Pre-Requisites

It is advisable to have knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry acquired in the preceding course (1st year)

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

Material Science is a mandatory subject in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Industrial Electronic and Automatic Engineering Degrees. The concepts developed in this subject will be used later in a mandatory subject “Engineering and Technology of materials” (Mechanical Eng. ) and in elective subjects such as “Advanced Materials” (Mechanical Eng.), “Electrical and Magnetic Materials” (Electrical Eng. and Industrial Electronic and Automatic Eng.)


4. Degree competences achieved in this course
Course competences
Code Description
A01 To understand and have knowledge in an area of study that moves on from the general education attained at secondary level and usually found at a level that, while supported in advanced text books, also includes some aspects that include knowledge found at the cutting edge of the field of study.
A02 To know how to apply knowledge to work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences that are usually demonstrated by the formulation and defence of arguments and the resolution of problems in the field of study.
A03 To have the capability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within the area of study) to make judgements that include a reflection on themes of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
A04 To be able to transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to a specialized audience.
A05 To have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake subsequent studies with a greater degree of autonomy.
A06 Command of a second foreign language at B1 level of the Common European Framework of Refence for Languages.
A08 Appropriate level of oral and written communication.
A12 Knowledge of basic materials and technologies that assist the learning of new methods and theories and enable versatility to adapt to new situations.
A13 Ability to take the initiative to solve problems, take decisions, creativity, critical reasoning and ability to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in Mechanical Engineering.
A14 Knowledge to undertake measurements, calculations, evaluations, appraisals, studies, give expert opinions, reports, work plans and similar tasks.
A15 Ability to work to specifications and comply with obligatory rules and regulations.
C03 Knowledge of the fundamentals of science, technology and chemistry of materials. Understanding of the relation between the microstructure, synthesis, processing and properties of materials.
D07 Knowledge and ability in the application of materials engineering.
