It is advisable that the student have knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and Materials Science as well as basic knowledge of manufacturing acquired in previous courses.

Material Science is a mandatory subject in Mechanical Engineering, Degree. The concepts developed in this subject are related with Material Science, Manufacturing Systems and Management and they will be used later in electives subjects such as Advanced Materials

 

Course competences
