Its prerequisite(s): Aircraft Technology
Further courses are built on it: Yes/No
Number of teaching hours/week (lecture + practice): 3+2
Topics:
The aim of the course is to give the basic, and useful material science knowledge to our students, through the presentation of special materials and its tangible analysis. Additionally, students can get closer to medical materials, which are currently being developed at a remarkable scale.

Requirements
A, for a signature:
Participation at practice classes is compulsory. Students must attend practice classes and may not miss more than three practice classes during the semester. In case a student does so, the subject will not be signed and the student must repeat the course. Students can’t take part in any practice class with another group. Attendance at practice classes will be recorded by the practice leader. Being late is equivalent with an absence. In case of further absences, a medical certification needs to be presented. Missed practice classes must be made up for at a later date, being discussed with the tutor.
During the semester there are two tests: the mid-term test is on the 8th week and the end-term test is on the 15th week. Students must sit for the tests.
B, for a grade:
The course ends in a mid-semester grade based on the average grade of the two tests.
The minimum requirement of the mid-term and the end-term test is 60% separately. The grade for each test is given according to the following table:
Score / Grade
0 - 59 = fail (1); 60 - 69 =pass (2); 70 - 79 =satisfactory (3); 80 - 89 = good (4); 90 - 100 =excellent (5)
If the score of any test is below 60, the student once can take a retake test of the whole semester material.
