Was erwartet Sie in diesem Kurs?

All products are made of materials. The functionality, quality and durability of the product, its environmental friendliness (or impact on the environment) and profitability therefore depend significantly on the material used. So, good knowledge in this field is essential for a purposeful selection and an optimal usage.

In this course you will learn the essential basics of materials science: The first part covers the structure and mechanical properties of materials in general. Later we will focus on different sorts of materials such as ferrous and non-ferrous materials, ceramics and plastics. Finally the course deals with composite materials and the how to select the optimal material for a given task.

This course is part of the INTEGRAL² project.

In cooperation with the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences and the RWTH Aachen University, Kiron is implementing the pilot research and development project INTEGRAL², which is short for “Integration and Participation of Refugees in the Context of Digital Teaching and Learning Scenarios” (“Integration und Teilhabe von Geflüchteten im Rahmen von digitalen Lehr- und Lernszenarien”) (https://kiron.ngo/our-projects/integral2/). The project is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and enables Kiron to test and refine its innovative educational model together with its partners.
