Materials engineering

The specificity of education at second degree studies in the field of materials engineering is the focus of the study program on the latest subjects of advanced construction and functional materials and material technologies. The emphasis in the range of construction materials is on structural determinants of material properties, multifunctional materials and nanomaterials. On the topic of functional materials, the student acquires knowledge about photonic materials and their use in semiconductor radiation detectors, non-telecommunication application of optical fibers and electro-optical liquid crystal transducers. Education in materials engineering is connected with research in that field conducted by the academic staff of The Institute of Materials Engineering as well as The Institute of Technical Physics. Students are encouraged to take part in that research not only during laboratory classes or while preparing subject projects or thesis but also in one of the four thriving students’ science clubs operating within the Faculty. The concept for education in materials engineering targets to prepare young scientific staff for research teams (research and development employees, scientific and technical engineers, design and implementation personnel) specializing in the field of materials engineering.
