The course, from the Materials Science aspect, develops the fundamental relationships between the structure, properties and technical processing of materials, as endogenous parameters that characterize materials, as well as the phenomena and mechanisms of influence of exogenous parameters (environmental factors) characteristics of materials at micro- and macro-structural level.

From the Materials Engineering aspect, methods of design, treatment and behavior (structure and properties) of specific materials are developed, such as metal, polymers, ceramics, composites, advanced, liquid crystalline materials, etc.

In the laboratory, students are getting familiar with methods of materials control and protection, applications, instrumental and non-destructive techniques to control the quality of materials/installations/ works and to assess their environmental impact.
