It is intended that at the end of the course the student is able to:
(i) identify the different classes of materials;
(ii) describe their internal structure, properties and functionalities;
(iii) describe preparation techniques, processing and characterization of materials;
(iv) apply acquired knowledge to describe the most current materials of daily, industrial and technological use.
