1035685 - MATERIALS	GENERAL PURPOSE: Acquiring fundamentals of materials science and engineering applied to industrial engineering. The course is intended to provide the fundamentals of both Science and Technology of Materials, and is formulated taking into account the needs of students with different potential careers in the field of industrial engineering. Students who will complete their studies with a three-year degree, as well as those who will not include in their future curriculum further knowledge in the field of Materials, will be able to draw from the course a knowledge already directly applicable in the field of Industrial Engineering (with particular reference to the Chemical Industry, but also to the Metallurgical, Mechanical, Electrotechnical Industry) and Civil Engineering. On the basis of the acquired knowledge gained on the properties of the different classes of materials, they will be able to consciously and appropriately select the materials suitable for different applications, they will recognize the conditions of possible risk in operation, they will be able to choose the most suitable tests to evaluate the performance of the materials and they will be able to integrate with professionalism in the management of the technological phases of production. Students wishing to pursue a master degree with a stronger specialization will be provided with the basic knowledge needed to deal with further preparation, making use of a complete articulation of knowledge on the relationships between the microstructure of materials, their properties and the production/processing operations. This will enable them to design with/for materials, becoming an active part of the evolution path from "traditional" materials to "advanced" materials. SPECIFIC PURPOSES: With specific reference to Dublin descriptors 1. knowledge and understanding (Dublin descriptor A) of the correlations between production/processing - microstructure - properties of materials. This knowledge is transmitted through general lectures on the microstructural characteristics and properties of the different classes of materials (metallic, ceramic, polymers, composites). 2. ability to apply the acquired knowledge and understanding (descriptor B) to the selection of the most suitable classes of materials for specific applications in the field of industrial engineering, with particular but not exclusive reference to their mechanical behavior (strength, resilience, toughness, workability, hardness, fatigue life). This ability is acquired through the illustration, during the lectures, (also through educational material in video) of the execution of tests and work on real materials/components. 3. the student is called to independently identify (descriptor C) the processes (working, heat treatments, alligation, combination of materials) more appropriate for the optimization of specific properties, thus exploiting the knowledge acquired to test their ability to determine judgments autonomously, in conditions of limited complexity. 4. suitable communication skills (descriptor D): for many students, considering the construction of the common career, the final exam of the course of Materials is the first exam taken entirely in the form of an oral interview with one of the two teachers. The attention of the teachers is particularly addressed, during the lectures and the final exam, to the development and care of an appropriate and sufficiently broad technical vocabulary and to the stimulation of a good expressive capacity.
