TMKM93	Engineering Materials - case studies, 6,8 ECTS-points /Konstruktionsmaterial - projektstudie/ Advancement level: D
	Aim: To develop the skills in using knowledge from earlier courses in material science and engineering materials by solving material-related problems defined from industry or from on-going research programmes in the department. The case studies provide training in how to work and organise projects, search for material information from libraries and other sources, use modern laboratory techniques and write reports. Prerequisites: Courses corresponding to those given by the department of engineering materials for advancement levels B and C. Advancement level B in physics and solid mechanics. Course organization: Lectures and individual supervision and teaching. For each student about 180 hours is estimated. Course content: Students, alone or in pairs, select a case study in co-operation with their supervisor. This will mostly start with some pre analysis in which the contact with the responsible case definer will be established and plans for the project developed. Mostly the case studies start with literature search and survey to acquire the necessary information about the task in itself and the methods of analysis and examination. The different case studies can span over of a wide range of areas e.g. engineering components, material manufacturing tasks, NDT-problems, material selection and strength analysis, fracture and failure analysis etc. The case studies end with written reports and oral presentations. The students are also required to organise a field trip for studies related to material science. Course literature: All required and available literature.
