10. Ceramic materials. Traditional and advanced ceramics. Electronic ceramics. Glass. Ceramic matrix composites.
11. Advanced Materials. Electrical, magnetic, thermal and optical properties of materials. Electro active materials.
Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Theoretical classes are expository using the blackboard and powerpoint. Students have access to a text with a strong pedagogical component in which the subject is described step by step. Carrying out the synthesis work allows contact with case studies. Theoretical-practical classes aim at solving exercises. For this, sheets with sequential exercises are available. In addition, 2 laboratory works are carried out where students come into contact with properties and characterization methods.
