Learning outcomes |
To acquire scientific and technological knowledge about the different classes of materials used in industry, particularly in the automotive and energy sectors, including mobility and renewable energy.
- To study and understand the properties of the main metal alloys, engineering polymers, advanced ceramics and composite materials, with an emphasis on light alloys, high-performance polymers and electroactive polymers, high-temperature ceramics and electroceramics, nano-additive composites and nanocomposites, among other types of multifunctional materials.
- To select materials according to the requirements and multivariable design constraints of a given part, identifying its function, objectives, advantages and limitations.
- To apply electro/thermo/mechanical properties to a design, using commercial software for three-dimensional modelling of components and systems (Solidworks) and for numerical simulation (Ansys).
