Objectives
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE BASIC KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO THE STRUCTURE, PRODUCTION AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES, TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND USE OF THE DIFFERENT CLASSES OF MATERIALS USED IN THE FIELD OF BUILDING AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE STUDENT:
- WILL LEARN TO CORRELATE PROPERTIES AND BEHAVIOR OF A MATERIAL TO ITS MICROSCOPIC STRUCTURE;
- WILL KNOW THE PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING PROCESSES OF THE DIFFERENT CLASSES OF MATERIALS USED.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- KNOW THE MAIN PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS AND THE TESTS TO TECHNICALLY EVALUATE THEIR CHARACTERISTICS;
- EVALUATE AND COMPARE THE PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIALS DURING QUALITY CONTROL/PURCHASE:
- BE AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SELECTING MATERIALS SO THAT THEY ADEQUATELY RESPOND TO PROJECT REQUIREMENTS.

INDEPENDENT JUDGMENTS:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- AT LEAST PRELIMINARILY, TO CHOOSE THE MOST SUITABLE MATERIAL FOR A SPECIFIC APPLICATION.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- ORALLY EXPLAIN THE KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO THE TOPICS COVERED.

LEARNING ABILITY:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED AND KNOW HOW TO UPDATE IT INDEPENDENTLY TO UNDERSTAND THE PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERIALS THAT MAY BE INTRODUCED TO REPLACE PART OF THOSE CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET.
Prerequisites
IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS, CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS WHICH CAN BE ACQUIRED AT HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.
THERE IS NO PROPAEDEUTICITY.

Teaching Methods
LESSONS (36 HOURS = 3,6 CFU) AND SIMPLE NUMERICAL AND ANALYTICAL EXERCISES (24 HOURS = 2,4 CFU).
LECTURES ARE PROVIDED IN CLASSES IN THE PRESENCE OF STUDENTS.
THE MINIMUM FRACTION OF ATTENDED HOURS OF LECTURES REQUIRED TO TAKE THE EXAM IS 70%, CARRIED OUT ELECTRONICALLY OR BY THE TEACHER DURING CLASS.

Verification of learning
THE EVALUATION WILL BE PERFORMED AT THE END OF THE COURSE BY AN ORAL EXAM, INTENDED TO ASSESS THE DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE TERMINOLOGY USED IN THE MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY, THE METHODS OF BUILDING MATERIALS USE, THE ABILITY TO APPROPRIATELY MOTIVATE THE DESIGN CHOICES IN TERMS OF MATERIALS AND DURABILITY, THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS AND OTHER MATERIALS, THE ABILITY OF EXPOSURE.
THE MARK, EXPRESSED IN A SCALE FROM 18 TO 30 WITH POSSIBLE LAUDE, WILL DEPEND ON THE ACQUIRED MATURITY ON THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE. FOR THE LAUDE, IT WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSITION, IN TERMS OF THE USE OF APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE, AND OF THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT BEING DEMONSTRATED.
