Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
For the succesful and effective attendance of the course, a good knowledge of general chemistry is required and in particular good understanding of terms such as molecule, atoms, moles, Avogadro constant etc., as well as familiarity in calculations using those temrs. Ιn addition, it would be very helpful to the stutdents whether they could possess falimiarity with terms such chemical equilibrium and mass action law, thermally activated processes and Arrhenius kinetics, as well as the laws of Fick for diffusion and the meaning of the diffusion coefficient.
Learning Outcomes
The basic understanding of the ideal and real structure of crystalline inorganic materials (metals, ceramics, alloys, solid solutions etc.) and their morphological characteristics of the microstructure (Materials Science and Technology I) so that the relation between structure and macroscopic properties or behaviour (Materials Science and Technology II) can be funadametnally understood.
Final goal is on one hand the ability of choice of the proper material for a certain application, on the other hand the ability to define interference pathways into a materials structure and microstructure in order to tailor its behaviour towards the desired direction (design).
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously

Description
Teaching is supported by the projection of electronic transparencies (powerpoint).
During the lessons, use is being made of specially designed educational sites (provided by the editor of the book) with illustrative animations for good understanding of fundamental phenomena and processes (i.e. crystal structures, lattice characteristics etc.).

Student Assessment
Description
During the courses and after the completion of a certain Chapter the students may volunteerly take 10 minute multiple choice tests.
After the completion of the 8 first Chapters the students may volunteerly take an intermediate written examination with contribution coefficient of 30% to the final mark.
The final written examination takes place over the entire material of the course.
During the intermediate examination as well as during the final examination the usage of the notes and the book is permitted.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Formative)
- Written Exam with Problem Solving (Formative)
