Code

SE-MSC1

Version

4.0

Offered by

Supply Engineering

ECTS

Prerequisites

Main purpose

To provide the student with a basic knowledge of materials and products used in the supply industry and their degradation mechanisms.

Knowledge

After completion of the course the student must be able to:
- Demonstrate basic knowledge about metals and polymers
- Apply standard test methods
- Explain deformation, stresses and fracture in tension-loaded materials
- Be familiar with the topics Corrosion Management and Failure Analysis

Skills

After completion of the course the student must be able to:
- Select a suitable material for the manufacture of components in the supply industry
- Carry out common test methods for materials
- Explain the relation between deformation, stresses and fracture in tension-loaded materials
- Explain relevant degradation mechanisms of materials specific to the supply industry
- Carry out corrosion investigation of selected materials/components from the supply industry

Competences

After completion of the course the student must be able to:
- Participate in development tasks covering the design and/or evaluation and improvement of components for the supply industry
- Combine data from various sources for developing an improved corrosion management strategy
- Analyzed corrosion failures and link to corrosion industry standards

Topics

Teaching methods and study activities

137.50 hours of work for the student, 4 lessons per week for 12 weeks with two external company visits.
Lectures are supplemented with individual exercises/presentations/ group exercises/demonstrations/homework/etc.

Evaluation

Examination

Exam prerequisites:
Course attendance min 75%

If the exam prerequisites are not met, the student must hand in a written assignment on the subject from each of the missing lessons, to qualify for the re-exam.
This assignment will be scheduled after the ordinary exam.

Type of exam:
Assessed on the basis of two oral assignments and one written assignment during the course and one final test in the form of a written course assignment.
All four weighing equally.
Internal assessment

Tools allowed:
NA

Re-exam:
Oral re-exam based upon a subject found by draw, 20 min. with no preparation.

Grading criteria

Grading based on the Danish 7-point scale
