Kurzbeschreibung | This course attempts to prepare the student for a job as a materials engineer in industry. The gap between fundamental materials science and the materials engineering of products should be bridged. The focus lies on the practical application of fundamental knowledge allowing the students to experience application related materials concepts with a strong emphasis on case-study mediated learning. | ||||
Lernziel | Teaching goals: to learn how materials are selected for a specific application to understand how materials around us are produced and manufactured to understand the value chain from raw material to application to be exposed to state of the art technologies for processing, joining and shaping to be exposed to industry related materials issues and the corresponding language (terminology) and skills to create an impression of how a job in industry "works", to improve the perception of the demands of a job in industry | ||||
Inhalt | This course is designed as a two semester class and the topics reflect the contents covered in both semesters. Lectures and case studies encompass the following topics: Strategic Materials (where do raw materials come from, who owns them, who owns the IP and can they be substituted) Materials Selection (what is the optimal material (class) for a specific application) Materials systems (subdivisions include all classical materials classes) Processing Joining (assembly) Shaping Materials and process scaling (from nm to m and vice versa, from mg to tons) Sustainable materials manufacturing (cradle to cradle) Recycling (Energy recovery) After a general part of materials selection, critical materials and materials and design four parts consisting of polymers, metals, ceramics and coatings will be addressed. In the fall semester the focus is on the general part, polymers and alloy case studies in metals. The course is accompanied by hands-on analysis projects on everyday materials. | ||||

Kurzbeschreibung | This course examines the materials underlying living systems. We will consider the basic building blocks of biological systems, the processes which organize them, the resulting structures, their properties and functions. | ||||
Lernziel | Students will apply basic materials science concepts in a new context while deepening their knowledge of biology. Emphasis on estimating key physical quantities through 'back of the envelope' estimates and simple numerical calculations. | ||||
