MSE-234: Mechanical Behaviour of Materials
This course is an introduction to the mechanical behavior, processing, structures and life cycle of the major classes of structural materials (metals, polymers, ceramics and composites)
A. Mortensen, D. Hernández-Escobar
MSE-236: Metals and Alloys
This course serves as an introduction to the principles that govern the processing, microstructure and the properties of metallic materials. Three main alloying systems (Al, Cu and Fe) are used as a learning vehicle; however, the general principles will be taught.

MSE-237: Practice in Materials
The materials practicals aim to give MSE students a direct experimental approach to the concepts acquired in the Introduction to Materials Science and Metals and Alloys courses. Emphasis is set on (1) the link between microstructure, process and properties, (2) the analysis of measurements and (3) the writing of a technical report.

MSE-171: Materials
An introduction to materials science applied to common construction materials such as concrete and metals. Description of their manufacturing, mechanical and thermal behaviour and their usage in construction.
J. Gheysen, L. Sofia
