Læringsutbytte

Knowledge: Students should: - be able to show broad knowledge and understanding of polymeric materials and the use of reinforcements in these (fibers and core materials) - be able to explain the concept of monomer, polymer and plastic - be able to explain the concept of glass conversion temperature (Tg) and explain kinetic and thermodynamic theories for Tg - be able to explain the properties and phases of polymeric materials by changing temperature - be able to explain the concept of degree of polymerization, Tg and be able to describe the hierarchical structure of the degree of polymerization of different polymers - be able to explain the concept of viscoelasticity of mixing two materials (rule of mixture) - be able to summarize the most common polymers and some areas of application for these. Skills: The student should be able to: - be able to demonstrate the most common standardized tests for polymeric materials - be able to build a simple structure in composite in the laboratory - be able to argue objectively and systematically and exercise source criticism (ethics) - be able to process and convey the subject matter in an independent way both written and oral - know «basic programming skills» (digitization) - be able to use digital collaboration tools (digitization) - know innovation, innovation and entrepreneurship (innovation) General competence: Students must: - be able to exchange information and experiences with others to be able to plan and carry out a project with phases and milestones. - knows group processes and can carry out projects in teams.

Læringsformer og aktiviteter

Excursions, lectures, group work, lab exercises, web-supported learning. Mandatory work requirements are completion of 1 laboratory exercises with the submission of 1 lab report. A selection of lectures is streamed, and recordings are made which are subsequently linked up from the learning platform. Furthermore, pre-recorded video lectures are used as a supplement. Guidance is carried out both synchronously using tools such as Collaborate (practice hours) and asynchronously using forums. There must be a plan for this on the learning platform. There will be 1 collection for online students. There will be 7 work requirements that must be approved in order to sit for the exam. Planned time consumption for a 7.5 ECTS course: Lectures: 40 hours Organized supervision: 10 hours Work with compulsory assignments: 60 hours Self-effort: 90 hours TOTAL: 200 hours

Ved færre enn 6 studenter påmeldt vil emnet foregå som et selvstudium med veiledning.
