Course detail
Engineering Materials - Selected Topics
FSI-0SV Acad. year: 2026/2027 Winter semester
The subject – with great space for questions and in more or less discussion form – sorts and complements informations given in parallel subject 3SV – Structure and properties of materials. Talk will be about:
- fase transformations during the heat treatment of metals and alloys
- structural materials (metals,ceramics, polymers and composites) – their chemical composition and technological treatment in relation to their crystallographic, sub-structural, structural, and mechanical properties
- degradation processes resulting from the practical application of these materials
- principles of selecting materials for engineering constructions.
In the second half of semester students have to pass the test of knowledge. Successful going through the test is essential condition for gaining the credits.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The subject is facultative and voluntary – finished with credit. Student must be active and interested in problems of studied subject. In the second half of semester students have to pass the test of knowledge. Successful going through the test is essential condition for gaining the credits.
Aims
This subject is created as a repeating and refreshing to the subject 3SV – Structure and properties of materials and its aim is to help students:
- to make clear informations about composition, structure, technological treatment and mechanical properties of materials
- to understand the fundametals of above-mentioned phenomenons.
