Objetivos

The overall goal of the unit is to provide general knowledge of materials used in engineering applications, their structure and typical properties, and their processing and recycling methods.
Specific objectives to achieve are:

• To know metallic materials and their properties, with relevance to ferrous and aluminium alloys.
• To know ceramic materials, both technical and traditional, and their typical properties; to know sintering and vitrification phenomena and to relate them with ceramic and glass properties.
• To know polymeric materials and their typical properties, production and processing techniques, recognizing the effect of processing additives on attained properties.
• To know composite materials, with relevance to fibre reinforced polymers.
• To thoroughly know dedicated recycling processes for each family of materials, including their advantages and limitations and typical properties, markets and common applications of the resulting secondary materials.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

Knowledge of the families of materials used in technology and engineering: metals, polymers, ceramics and composites and the relationship between their properties, structure, processing and performance in service.
Knowledge of the recycling ability of each family and of the most common separation and recycling processes.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

HYPOTHESIS 1
Distributed evaluation WITHOUT final exa

NF = 0.5xT + 0.3xL + 0.2xP

onde
NF - final grade
T - test average
L - lab reports average
P - poster grade

HYPOTHESIS 2
Distributed evaluation WITH final exam

NF = 0.7xE + 0.3xL 

onde
NF - final grade
E - exam grade
L - lab reports average

Avaliação especial (TE, DA, ...)

Working Students, Federated Athletes, Student's Unions Leaders  and Students under the Law of Religious Freedom must contact the  professor by the end of the second week of the semester, to present their relevant specificities, as provided for in the respective diplomas.
