Computational materials science
Computational materials science
Learn key concepts and major topics in computer modelling through which materials scientists and metallurgists study and apply these methods on atomistic, microscopic and mesoscopic spatial scales to understand and predict phenomena and properties of materials. Students will get familiar with computational methods and will learn of their strengths and limitations. They will gain the ability to apply fundamental knowledge on materials modelling via computer simulations.

5
Failure Analysis
Failure Analysis
The purpose of the Failure Analysis course is to increase students’ knowledge of application methods for identification and analyses of failure modes, errors and defects in manifold products, structures, parts of tools, machinery and equipment. Show the typical phenomena and forms of failure modes, damages and defects in various materials.To acquaint students with the standards, regulations and patents. Learn systematic analysis and research and how to value expertise and expert opinions. Upgrade acquired knowledge with the use of investigative methods, models and computer simulations within the scope of deliberations and complex project case studies.

Industrial Ecology and Energetics
Industrial Ecology and Energetics
Industrial ecology and energetics presents interdisciplinary and systematic study of interactions between industrial and ecological systems. During the course, Industrial ecology and energetics students recognise ecological points of different technological processes and procedures, with waste management, influence of waste on the environment and obligatory regulations on the protection of the environment. They learn about fundamental energy sources, energy transformations, energetics engines and devices and the connection between energy and environment. Students will become accustomed to teamwork and project work and using professional literature and current sources of information.

Thermodynamics of materials 2
Thermodynamics of materials 2
The basis of the course is to teach students basics of thermodynamics in liquid and solid solutions, chemistry and phase equilibrium in materials and thermodynamics and kinetics of processes in solutions in order to enable better understanding of the processes in the materials. Students will learn about the thermodynamic basics of phase diagrams, kinetics and diffusion and also chemistry. The lectures are complemented with seminar work, simulations and project work of planning, manufacturing and thermodynamic characterisation of the materials.
