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.
The specific objectives to achieve bu the students 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.
- Know the separation processes for each family of materials; know the respective advantages and limitations.
- To thoroughly know dedicated recycling processes for each family of materials, including their advantages and limitations, 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.

HYPOTHESIS 1
Distributed evaluation WITHOUT final exam
- 2 intermediate tests (70%)
- 5 labs with delivery of written report (30%)
- Tests have no minimum score; average ≥ 8.5/20
- No consultation allowed
- It is mandatory to carry out both tests
- Students who opt for test evaluation can only propose to appeal

- No minimum score for lab reports.
- Group work.
- There's no recap of reports.
- Failing to deliver an evaluation element implies "zero" score on that
component
Course approval requires final grade ≥ 9,5 val.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
HYPOTHESIS 1
Distributed evaluation WITHOUT final exa
NF = 0.7xT + 0.3xL
onde
NF - final grade
T - test average
L - lab reports average
