Objectives
THE COURSE HAS THE FOLLOWING EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
KNOWLEDGE OF THE MOST RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS USED IN THE PROCESSING OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO RAPID PROTOTYPING TECHNIQUES.
SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO INNOVATIVE POLYMERIC MATERIALS OBTAINED FROM BOTH FOSSIL AND RENEWABLE SOURCES.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NON-CONVENTIONAL HYBRID SYSTEMS.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHARACTERIZATION AND PROCESSING OF SMART MATERIALS FOR APPLICATIONS IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIAL FIELDS.

APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING - ENGINEERING ANALYSIS:
ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF THE VARIOUS POLYMERIC COMPOSITE SYSTEMS AND TO IDENTIFY THE MOST SUITABLE PROCESSING AND RAPID PROTOTYPING TECHNIQUES.
ABILITY TO DETERMINE SUITABLE PROCESSING CONDITIONS FOR OPTIMIZING THE PROPERTIES OF THE PRODUCT AND REDUCING WASTE.
ANALYZE THE MAIN ISSUES RELATED TO THE MODELING OF THE POLYMER PROCESSING AND IN PARTICULAR TO RAPID PROTOTYPING, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PROCESS VARIABLES AND THE PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL AND OF THE PRODUCT.

APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING - ENGINEERING DESIGN:
ABILITY TO DESIGN COMPLEX SYSTEMS MADE UP OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR APPLICATIONS IN RAPID PROTOTYPING.
ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONS THAT LEAD TO SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OR DEFECTS OF A POLYMERIC PART.
ABILITY TO SET THE MOST SUITABLE PROCESSING CONDITIONS FOR A GIVEN PROCESS OR PRODUCT

INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT - ENGINEERING PRACTICE: ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE FOR THE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF HIGHLY INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL SECTORS OF USE.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS - COMMUNICATION SKILLS: ABILITY TO PRESENT ORALLY, WITH APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY, A TOPIC CONCERNING THE TECHNOLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR A RAPID PROTOTYPING SYSTEM AND FOR A SPECIFIC POLYMERIC OR COMPOSITE MATERIAL IN RELATION TO SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS.

TRANSVERSAL SKILLS - ABILITY TO LEARN: ABILITY TO COMBINE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE, ALSO BY CARRYING OUT CASE STUDIES AND PROJECT WORK. ABILITY TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED ALSO FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED IN THE COURSE AND ABILITY TO REFINE AND EXPAND ONE'S KNOWLEDGE.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS - INVESTIGATION SKILLS: ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE PECULIARITIES OF A MATERIAL WITH SPECIFIC PROPERTIES AND TO DEFINE THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODOLOGIES FOR FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION.
Prerequisites
STUDENTS MUST POSSESS THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS PROVIDED BY A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN SCIENCE / ENGINEERING.

10. EFFECT OF PROCESS VARIABLES ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIAL AND OF THE PART, ANALYSIS OF THE DEFECTS OF THE PRODUCTS AND THEIR SOLUTION
4 THEORY, 3 LAB

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS AND LABORATORY EXERCISES. IN THE CLASSROOM, STUDENTS WILL ALSO FACE PRACTICAL PROBLEMS OF ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF THE PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS.
WITH LABORATORY EXPERIENCES, LEARNERS WILL BE ABLE TO CONSOLIDATE THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED.
OVERALL, THE COURSE CONSISTS OF 20 HOURS OF THEORY, 10 HOURS OF CLASSROOM EXERCISES AND 30 HOURS OF LABORATORY/COMPUTER APPLICATIONS.

ATTENDANCE TO TEACHING COURSES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

Verification of learning
THE SKILLS AND LEARNING OF THE COURSE CONTENTS WILL BE VERIFIED THROUGH THE DISCUSSION OF A PROJECT AND AN INTERVIEW, BOTH HELD IN ENGLISH.
THE PROJECT WILL CONSIST IN THE PRESENTATION OF A CASE STUDY OF MODELING THE PRODUCTION A POLYMERIC PRODUCT.
STUDENTS WILL BE EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PRESENT THE CONTENTS BY ADDRESSING THE QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS PROPOSED.
THE FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE WILL BE CONSIDERED AS ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PASSING THE EXAM.
EXCELLENCE WILL BE ACHIEVED IF THE STUDENT PROVES TO BE ABLE TO FACE AND SOLVE NON-STANDARD PROBLEMS BY IMPLEMENTING THE ABILITY TO SYNTHESIZE AND CORRELATE THE TOPICS COVERED TOGETHER WITH THE LANGUAGE PROPERTIES.
