Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie:
- 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati. - 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione - 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

- Esame
The interdisciplinary field of materials science and engineering covers approaches to improving the synthesis of new materials, to understanding their surfaces and main properties and, in particular, to adapting their properties to meet special requirements. The aim of this course is to teach students the fundamental principles necessary to understand the relationships between structure and property in material development.
Requisiti
The course requires knowledge of general physics, general chemistry and mathematics. Basic knowledge of the materials science and technology of metals, ceramics and organic materials is also necessary.
Obiettivi di apprendimento
Students acquire comprehensive knowledge about the use of modern materials and their properties. Where appropriate, state-of-the-art problems are covered in the form of examples. Students understand the concepts of the structures, from bonding through to the microstructure and then learn to consider the correlations between structure and property. Examples are also presented for discussing how to influence these relationships between structure and property in the development of materials.
The aims of the course are as follows:
- Teaching students the fundamental mechanisms of materials science and materials technology.
- Teaching students the basic concepts regarding the correlations between structure, properties and processing of all the different material classes.
- Teaching students the importance of quantifying and characterising properties and phenomena
