The module discusses the most important manufacturing processes and technologies driving Industry 4.0, including both traditional and advanced manufacturing. The course will cover a wide variety of modern forming, shaping and joining techniques. Further, it will introduce advanced technology such as non-conventional machining, micromanufacturing and additive manufacturing.

This module provides fundamental training in the behavior and manufacturing properties of materials as well as an introduction to materials selection and design considerations as practiced in industry, including related concepts such as Design for Manufacturing and “green” design.

The core of this course explains how the behavior of materials changes, when their external dimensions become small (usually on the micro- to nanometer length scale). This is illustrated by examples from all materials classes and further substantiated by case studies of applications ranging from micro- and nanoelectronics to optoelectronics.

The aim of this course is to understand the principles of material design and selection, and apply them in a number of relevant case studies related to energy, health, information technology, etc. Examples will include all materials classes. It discusses the design challenges that arise when a combination of properties and geometries are required for a specific application.

This course attempts to prepare the student for a job as a materials engineer in industry. The gap between fundamental materials science and the materials engineering of products should be bridged. The focus lies on the practical application of fundamental knowledge allowing the students to experience application related materials concepts with a strong emphasis on case-study mediated learning.

The appropriate processing-microstructure-property relationship will lead to the fundamental understanding of concepts that determine the mechanical and functional properties of materials. Materials and process selection will be core to this course. The lab sections and group projects will provide students with valuable hands-on experience.

This course provides a basic foundation in materials science for mechanical engineers. Students learns how to select the right material for the application at hand. In addition, the appropriate processing-microstructure-property relationship will lead to the fundamental understanding of concepts that determines the mechanical and functional properties.

This course provides the fundamentals for understanding the mechanical properties of different classes of materials. The role played by the nano- and microstructure of the materials, how the mechanical properties are influenced by the composition or processing, as well as which methods can be used to determine material-specific mechanical parameters are examined.

Repetition and advancement of dislocation theory. Mechanical properties of metals: hardening mechanisms, high temperature plasticity, alloying effects. Case studies in alloying to illustrate the mechanisms.

The core of this course explains how the behavior of materials changes, when their external dimensions become small (usually on the micro- to nanometer length scale) until quantum effects become dominant. This is illustrated by examples from all materials classes and further substantiated by case studies of applications ranging from micro- and nanoelectronics to optoelectronics.
