L.104.23110 Materials Science for Mechanical Engineers I

Instructors: Prof. Mirko Schaper

Event type: Lecture

Org-unit: Maschinenbau

Displayed in timetable as: WK 1

Hours per week: 3

Language of instruction: German

Min. | Max. participants: - | -

Requirements and recommendations:
The course is designed to be self-contained. Basics from Chemistry and Physics courses for freshman are helpful.

Aim of the event:
This course is intended to provide the foundation for understanding the principles used in design and use of materials for structural applications. To a smaller extend functional materials will be covered. Therefore, focus is on the relationship between (micro)structure and mechanial properties.

Target group:
Freshman in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering as well as students with a need to have substantial background in mechanical engineering.
