Materials and Manufacturing processes - national programme element
2024/2025- Purpose and learning objectives
Subject element Materials & Manufacturing Processes deals with the prerequisites for qualified selection of materials and manufacturing processes based on professional and interdisciplinary parameters.
KnowledgeThe student will gain knowledge about:
Skills
the practice of the profession and the subject area as well as key applied theory and methods, including:
o (1) physical properties of and suitable manufacturing processes for:
• metals, particularly steel and aluminium
• plastic, elastomers and composites
• wood
• ceramics
• new materials.
o (2) surface and heat treatment of various materials
o (1) joining technologies
o (1) machining processes
o (2) choice of materials in a sustainability perspective
o (2) materials testing.
practice and key applied theories and methods as well as the profession’s use of theories and methods, including:
o (2) material properties and their implications for a product development process
o (1) manufacturing processes and their implications for the quality and price of the final product.The student will get the skills to:
Competences
apply the key methodologies and tools of the subject area as well as the skills associated with employment in the industry, including:
o (1) the use of databases/reference books for the provision of data on materials, including
• physical properties
• manufacturing processes
• environment/sustainability.
assess practice-orientated issues and suggest and select possible solutions, including:
o (1) selection of materials based on their properties and design requirements
o (1) identification, assessment and recommendation of suitable manufacturing processes
o (2) identification of relevant material properties in relation to the function of a product and subsequent assessment and selection of suitable materials
o (2) assessment of the relationship between materials, manufacturing processes and sustainability
o (2) assessment of materials and manufacturing process from an environmental perspective
o (2) recommendation of manufacturing processes based on realisability.
communicate practice-orientated issues and solutions to partners and users in relation to materials and manufacturing processes.The student will learn to:
manage development-orientated situations, including:
o (2) contributing to the choice of materials and manufacturing processes based on a holistic understanding of the realisable manufacture of the product/service.
participate in academic and interdisciplinary cooperation based on a professional approach, including:
o (2) interdisciplinary cooperation on the selection of materials and manufacturing processes taking into account the framework provided by the other core areas.
acquire new knowledge, skills and competencies in relation to material properties and manufacturing processes in a structured context. - Type of instruction
