The course aims to provide engineering students with the tools for a rational selection of materials. The resistance and functional properties of materials will be described, along with the chemical-physical properties they depend on, production processes, and post-production treatments to improve performance. The student will acquire the ability to choose materials in relation to the project and to address issues of material degradation and durability.
Supply the necessary elements to understand the mechanical properties, functionality, and durability of materials. Provide criteria for selecting materials with particular reference to materials for structural applications.
Attendance and participation in the proposed activities (lectures and exercises) and individual study will allow the student to:
There are no requirements.
The course focuses on the study of construction materials and technological tests. During the course, the following topics will be presented:

The schedule and date of this course can be consulted on EasyAcademy.
The final exam consists of a written or oral test aimed at assessing the achievement of the learning objectives. During the test, the candidate will be asked regarding the course and its content.
The exam is designed to assess the student's knowledge of the main characteristics of materials used in construction contexts and their understanding of the relationships between chemical composition, structure, microstructure, process parameters, and the mechanical and functional properties of materials. Therefore, clarity and precision in presentation, knowledge and understanding of the topics covered, as well as the ability of the student to choose between different materials based on the objective of creating a simple device or elements of a construction, will be evaluated.
