Knowledge
Students are expected to acquire:
some knowledge of general and applied chemistry, nomenclature, acid-base, stechiometry and oxidation, base concepts on organic chemistry
some knowledege on solid state of materials
knowledge on metals processing, state diagrams, processing and properties of metalas in particualr of steels
Knowledge on concrete, gypsum, lime, hydration, porosity and mix design
Some knowledge on polymers, wood, glass, ceramic
Some knowledege on corrosion and preservation
Assessment criteria of knowledge
- The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to handle the concepts and the knowledge acquired in the course.
-In the written exam (3 hours, 2 problems, 4 questions, 2 open theory questions), the student must demonstrate his/her ability to solve the problems based on the knowledege acquired on metals, evaluation of mechanical properties aimed at the selection of the right component to be used in a construction project. Similarly one written problem is always focues on mix desing or similar topics aimed at assessing a proper knowledege on beton, concrete and material to be used in construction.
- During the oral the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and be able to discuss the reading matter thoughtfully and to apply them to practical examples. In particular to plan the use of the different materials for application in construction, taking in consideration the properties of the materials and the requiremnt of the project, also related to the environment where the construction has to be build.
- The student must demonstrate the knowledege of the main topics of the course and the ability to use those for managing a project and eventually making the selection of the materials to be used in a project of construction.
