Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

Student knows the properties of different material groups and additionally he is able to choose the proper material. Student knows, how the structure and thus the physical and chemical properties of a material can be changed by using different methods, heat treatment beeing a prime example of that.

Content (course unit)
