In order to take this subject to the maximum advantage, it is recommended that the student has achieved competences related to the application of the basic principles of general chemistry, mastery of the basic concepts of the general laws of physics and the resolution of mathematical problems that may arise in engineering.
This course enables students to acquire knowledge of the fundamentals of materials science, technology and chemistry by understanding the relationship between their microstructure, synthesis or processing and their properties.

Not established. |
During the course, laboratory practices will be carried out and will be structured in two blocks:
1. Metallographic preparation and observation of microstructures.
2. Mechanical properties: traction, hardness, impact.
The practicals may be carried out outside class hours. The timetable and groups will be published at the beginning of the course in the Academic Guide of the Centre.

Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
Mid-term tests | 67.00% | 0.00% | There will be a partial test of the subject in the middle of the course and another one in the ordinary exam with the rest of the syllabus of the subject. Each part will have the same weight and may include theory and problems. The minimum mark in each test will be 4 points out of 10 in order to average with the rest of the evaluable activities. |
Final test | 0.00% | 67.00% | It will be a single final test. A minimum of 4 points out of 10 will be necessary to obtain an average with the rest of the evaluable activities. |
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 18.00% | 18.00% | In continuous assessment, this activity will be carried out throughout the course and will consist of solving cases of practical and expository content related to the subject. In non-continuous assessment, the student must take a specific test that evaluates the same competences acquired in the completion of these case studies. |
Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 15.00% | In continuous assessment, this activity will be carried out throughout the course and will consist of attendance at the practicals, submission of the report and resolution of practical questions. In non-continuous assessment or if the student has not passed the laboratory practicals during the course, he/she must take a test to assess similar competences both in the ordinary and extraordinary exams, and must obtain a minimum of 4 points out of 10 to average with the rest of the assessable activities. |
