Materials Sciences for Mechatronic Engineers (summer semester 2023)

This is a joint event with the Institute for Materials Science (IW). It covers all aspects of contemporary materials science. Specifically, the objective is to build knowledge of the connections between microscopic material structure (atomic or crystalline structure, nanoscopic defects, etc.) and macroscopic mechanical or electrical properties for a range of different materials . Additionally, the course aims to explore opportunities for the targeted design of materials for a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, we aim to enhance the student's material-physical understanding of everyday processes. Ultimately, students will be enabled to trace back macroscopic material properties to their underlying microscopic origins through a knowledge of structure-property relationships.
