Course learning outcomes (CLO)

  1. CLO 1: The subject "mechanical and physical properties of materials" gives students a deep understanding of the reactions of engineering materials to external forces, temperature, electric and magnetic fields. students acquire the ability to analyze mechanical properties of materials such as strength, plasticity, stiffness and elasticity, as well as stress-strain dependences. at the same time, during the course, the connection of important physical parameters of materials such as density, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and magnetic properties with the internal structure is studied. by conducting tensile, impact, and hardness tests in a laboratory environment, students gain skills in evaluating the durability and suitability of materials under real-world operating conditions. in the end, this complex knowledge obtained allows to choose the optimal material that will ensure the safety, efficiency and longevity of constructions in the fields of mechanical engineering, construction and metallurgy.
