Course objectives:
This course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of primary technologies used in metal production and processing. It is designed to expose students to the fundamental scientific principles and industrial practices involved in metalwork, from raw material processing to finished products. The course emphasizes the development of both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through lectures and laboratory sessions. By the end of this course, students will be equipped to contribute effectively to the metallurgy and metalworking industries.
Course content:

Acquired competences:
Knowledge:

Students will gain a deep understanding of various metallurgical processes, including iron and steel production, casting, rolling, and forging techniques. They will also learn about the physical properties of metals and how they can be manipulated through different manufacturing processes.

Skills:

Skills developed include the ability to design and simulate metallurgical processes, analyze industrial equipment operations, and perform critical metallurgical operations. Students will also develop proficiency in interpreting and conducting laboratory experiments and safety protocols.

Attitude:

The course encourages a rigorous analytical attitude, attention to detail, and a strong emphasis on safety and environmental considerations in industrial settings. It promotes a responsible approach towards resource management and quality control in metalworking processes.

Autonomy and responsibilities:

Students will be expected to undertake independent projects and simulations, demonstrate problem-solving skills, and develop the ability to work autonomously while adhering to professional standards and ethical practices.

Additional professional competences:

Graduates of this course will be well-prepared to engage with the latest technologies in metallurgy and metalworking. They will have the competence to oversee complex production processes, implement innovations in metal treatment and processing, and contribute to improvements in product quality and manufacturing efficiency. The hands-on experience and technical knowledge gained will enable them to effectively manage and optimize industrial operations in the metal production sector.
