Learning Outcomes

After the frequency with approval of the course, the student should be able to identify properties of various non-metallic materials used as engineering materials, describe the processing of various non-metallic materials and select pairs of non-metallic materials and related processes processing for the production of mechanical components
At the end of this course students must have scientific and technical knowledge to select pairs of non-metallic materials and associated manufacturing processes for the production of mechanical components.
