Course Content
The course is an introduction to the process technology of materials. Both aspects of production and processing of materials (metals, polymers and ceramic materials) are further discussed in the Master of science in engineering: chemistry and materials. Insights are based on the knowledge of the unit operations, together with their thermodynamic, kinetic and technological characteristics. The basic principles are applied to the production of metals (extractive metallurgy), polymers and ceramic materials.
Besides that, the processing techniques are introduced.
Aspects of recycling are considered in the WPO activities through an individual reading exercise.
The students are also familiarized with the industrial aspects (if possible by visit of installations).

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge based competence

BA_A2: The bachelor in engineering sciences has a broad fundamental knowledge and understanding of engineering principles and the ability to apply them to analyze key engineering processes and to investigate new and emerging technologies

This course is part of the specialization ‘Materials and Chemistry’ of the Bachelor in Engineering.  The student is familiarized with process technology of materials, more precisely in the context of the production and processing of metals, polymers and ceramic materials.
The viewed competence is that the student can analyze the production process and adapt it in view of the needs of the final product.

scientific competence

BA_B5:The bachelor in engineering sciences can define, classify, formulate and solve engineering problems, identify the constraints and is able to delimit and formulate the tasks in order to submit these to a critical examination and to check the solutions for their sustainability and social relevance

Aspects of recycling are studied by the student for one material in the WPO activities through an individual literature search and reading exercise

scientific competence

BA_B9: The bachelor in engineering sciences can use and evaluate information of technical literature and other information sources

Aspects of recycling are studied by the student for one material in the WPO activities through an individual literature search and reading exercise. The results are presented to the other students in a workshop

attitude

BA_C19: The bachelor in engineering sciences has more advanced fundamental knowledge and understanding of materials and process technology, and their integration, and can apply this knowledge to solve basic engineering problems

The course contributes to the realization of the aim of the bachelor in engineering: chemistry and materials to initiate a specialization in the field of chemical and materials technology. It also aims at creating the attitude of considering materials in correlation to their chemistry

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Oral Exam determines 66% of the final mark.
PRAC Presentation determines 34% of the final mark.

Within the Oral Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • oral examination with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 66% of the final mark.

    Note: The oral examination is preceded by a written preparation. The main question is selected in such a way that during the oral discussion the level of knowledge and understanding can be tested.

Within the PRAC Presentation category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Workshop with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 34% of the final mark.

    Note: The reading exercise is judged by means of a presentation during a workshop were all students present their work. Attendance of the workshop is compulsory. Participation at the visit(s) is compulsory.

Additional info regarding evaluation



The oral examination is preceded by a written preparation.  The main question is selected in such a way that during the oral discussion the level of knowledge and understanding can be tested.

The reading exercise is judged by means of a presentation during a workshop were all students present their work. Attendance of the workshop is compulsory.  Participation at the visit(s) is compulsory.

Second examination session: oral examination + presentation is required if final global mark is below 10/20. For the presentation, a partial transfer is possible from a mark of 10/20 on.

Partial marks cannot be transferred to the following academic year in the case of failure.

 

Allowed unsatisfactory mark
The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.

Academic context
