Qualification Requirements and Regulations
Qualification Requirements:
Finished higher education in Bachelor's degree programme.
Regulations:
The Czech educational system is regulated by the Higher Education Act (Act 111/1998). Studies at VSB-TUO are regulated by the Statute of VSB – Technical University of Ostrava.
Profile of the Programme
The study program trains professionals with deep knowledge on the structure of classical and special materials, their performance that the relationships between structure and properties, as well as on the mechanisms of degradation of materials and the possibilities of influencing the properties of technical materials. It prepares qualified professionals also for the selection of materials (metals and their alloys, plastics, structural ceramics, composites) for their optimal use.
Key Learning Outcomes
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies
Knowledge:
The students will gain a deep theoretical knowledge on the basic structural parameters of conventional and special technical materials. They learn the relationship between structure and the materials´ properties. They recognize the mechanisms of material degradation, they learn to influence their properties. Gain insight on the materials´ selection for an optimal use.
Skills:
The students get a deep theoretical knowledge on the structure of conventional and special materials. They learn the relationship between structure and properties. Identify the degradation mechanisms. They will learn how to influence the properties of technical materials. Gain knowledge on the materials´ selection for an optimal use.
General competencies:
They learn to apply the theoretical knowledge on the structure, properties, their optimization, degradation processes, selection of materials for practical applications and creation of solutions to technical problems in the material.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
Graduates find employment in the manufacturing and commercial sectors, in design, but also research and development. Specific manufacturing are metalurgy, various branches of engineering industry, electrical engineering, power industry.
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
