Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Provide clear and accurate information.
• Share their knowledge and findings clearly and back them up rationally to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
• Grow personally and professionally.
• Have developed the skills that will enable them to continue to acquire knowledge independently.
• Have a creative and rigorous scientific approach
• Apply their knowledge, understanding and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments and in multidisciplinary contexts related to physical sciences.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Analyzing a physical metallurgy problem in all aspects
Proposing and using investigation methods
Understanding and interpretation of metallurgical phenomena applied to ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, and of the influence on mechanical properties and on general corrosion resistance. 
The aim is to teach the students the information necessary to understand metallography and physical metallurgy applied to metallic alloys (ferrous and non-ferrous alloys), in the fields of mechanical resistance, structural materials, and corrosion resistance.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
