Course title, code: Special Materials and Technologies, GAGEBAN-KULANYTE-1
The aim of the Special Materials and Technologies course is to familiarise students with state-of-the-art materials and related technologies and to enable them to apply them in any field of science.
Research and development opportunities for special materials. Engineering solutions from nature, biomimetics. Powder metallurgy technologies. Use of diagnostic techniques in advanced manufacturing technologies and materials science. Concepts, classification, properties and sizing of engineering ceramics. Ceramic products and their manufacturing technology. Concepts and classification of composites. Types of reinforcing fibres, their production, properties. Impact of nanotechnology on special materials. Foamed structural materials. The importance of purity testing as a special technology in manufacturing technologies.
Course content - labs:
Knowledge:
Comprehensively understands the basic facts, directions, and limits of the technical field. Knows the general and specific mathematical, natural, and social science principles, rules, relationships, and procedures necessary for practicing the technical field. At the applied level, knows the requirements and expectations of work and fire safety, security technology, and occupational health in relation to their field, as well as relevant environmental regulations. Comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals, limits, and requirements of logistical, management, environmental, quality assurance, information technology, legal, and economic areas associated with mechanical engineering.
Capable of identifying routine professional problems, uncovering the theoretical and practical background necessary to solve them, formulating and solving them (with the practical application of standard operations). Able to understand and use characteristic literature, computational, and library resources of their field. Capable of directing and controlling technical manufacturing processes while keeping elements of quality assurance and quality control in mind. Able to diagnose mechanical failures, select corrective operations, and solve repair tasks. Capable of applying and enforcing safety, fire safety, and hygiene rules and regulations during work.
In complex or unexpected decision-making situations, makes decisions taking into full account legal regulations and ethical norms. Possesses appropriate perseverance and monotony tolerance for performing practical activities. Open and receptive to new, modern, and innovative procedures and methods related to ecological management and health awareness. Adheres to and enforces relevant safety, health, environmental, quality assurance, and control requirements during work.
Identifies shortcomings in applied technologies, risks in processes, and initiates measures to reduce them. Keeps track of legal, technical, technological, and administrative changes related to the field. Under the guidance of workplace leaders, directs the work of assigned personnel, supervises the operation of machinery and equipment. Shares experiences with colleagues, thereby assisting in their development. Takes responsibility for technical analyses and proposals formulated based on them.
