After completing the course the student will acquire skills related with:
ACADEMIC
1. Basic knowledge to understand the nature, properties and characteristics of materials.
2. Understanding the relationship between nature-processing-properties of Materials.
3. Basic knowledge of different types of materials, processing, properties and applications.
GENERAL
The course will improve the students skills to identify the relations between theoretical and practice problems typical of Materials Science. The course also will improve the ability to work in groups and to make technical reports.
BASIC AND GENERAL
CG3 - Knowledge in basic and technological subjects, which enables the students to learn new methods and theories, and gives them the versatility to adapt to new situations.
CG4 - Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision-making, creativity, critical reasoning and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of industrial chemical engineering
TRANSVERSAL
TC1 - Analysis and synthesis capacity
CT6 - Troubleshooting
CT8 - Teamwork
CT19 - Autonomous learning
SPECIFIC
CI3 - Knowledge of the fundamentals of materials science, technology and chemistry. Understanding the relationship between microstructure, synthesis or processing and material properties
The course is structured on the basis of 30 hours of theoretical classes and 15 hours of practical seminars. The theoretical classes will be given in the classroom with the support of projections and the practical classes in seminars.
The students will carry out a work (maximum three students) related to a ceramic, metallic, polymeric or composite material, which will include a summary of the nature, preparation and properties of the material, its uses and its market. Competences: CG4, CT1, CT6, CT8, CI3. The work will be delivered through the Virtual Campus
The MS Teams platform will also be used if circumstances make it necessary
Scenario 1 (No restrictions; use of mask and hydrogels/soap):
Exposure and interactive classroom lessons.
Work and delivery: Through the Virtual Campus
Group tutoring: Tutoring can be done partially in a virtual way.
Scenario 2 (Distance):
The theoretical classes will be carried out through MS Teams and the seminars will be attended.
Scenario 3 (Confinement):
Theoretical classes and seminars will be conducted through MS Teams
The assessment will be done through:
a) Written theoretical and practical test at the end of the term based on four or five short theoretical questions and two problems.
b) Qualification of the evaluating the work made during the course.
c) Continuous assessment in courses, seminars and visits to factories.
A mixed evaluation will be used, based on:
a) Grade obtained by the student in a final exam, consisting of one or two problems and four or five short questions. Grade: 70%. No blank questions or problems are allowed.
b) Grade obtained in the evaluation of the work done during the course (5%).
c) Continuous evaluation in seminars and theoretical classes (25%).
The qualification obtained in the points b and c above, can be kept for the second opportunity and will count with the exam mark for the final qualification.
The evaluation system for repeaters will be the same as that applied to non-repeaters.
In order to be evaluated, it is necessary to attend at least 50 % of the seminars, do the required work and take the final exam. This is the case both for passing the subject in the ordinary call and for recuperation
In the seminars, problems and case studies related to the contents of the subject will be presented, which are fundamental for a clear understanding and learning of the contents of the subject. Therefore it is mandatory to attend the seminars

Total student work time is estimated at around 112 hours, distributed as follows:
Attendance hours: 44
Hours of student work: 68.5
Related to the subject matter:
- Knowledge of general physics and general chemistry. - Knowledge of Mineralogy and Geology is desirable.
General:
Consistency throughout the course and attendance at classes and seminars.
It is necessary to know how the Virtual Campus and the MS Teams platform work. In the same way, it is necessary to have a personal computer with a camera and a microphone to carry out telematic activities.
The mask must be worn during the time the student is at the Faculty. All the indications of the health authorities and of the USC itself must be scrupulously followed, for the protection of the health of the Covid-19. Wear a mask, apply hydrogel or wash your hands with soap and water following the instructions and when possible increase the distance with your classmates and teacher in the classroom.
Contingency plan for remote teaching activities (Scenarios 2 and 3)
METHODOLOGY
They will be carried out in a synchronous/asynchronous way and always according to the timetable established by the centre, through the different telematic means available at the USC, preferably the Virtual Campus and/or Ms Teams.
Due to the nature and contents of this subject, as well as the methodology used, the main difference between teaching in person and teaching remotely is that the exercises will be solved and explained by the teacher. To continue with the continuous evaluation, students will only have to answer specific questions.
Tutorials, as well as direct communication between students and teachers, can be carried out through the Virtual Campus forum, through Ms. Teams or by e-mail.
EVALUATION SYSTEM
The evaluation system would be exactly the same regardless of the teaching modality used (face-to-face or virtual), with the only difference that the evaluation activities would be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in the classroom or remotely by the telematic means available at the USC.
Classes will be given in Spanish
