Functional Materials (minor)

Code: CHEM3034

Extent: 20–25 cr

Please check the minimum scope of the minor from your own programme.

Language: English

Professor in charge: Mady Elbahri

Target group: Master's students

Application procedure: Open for all students of Aalto University.

Quotas and restrictions: Please note, that in some courses the number of participants can be limited. Then major students (Functional Materials) have the priority.

Prerequisites: While making your study plan, you should verify that you have the prerequisites needed for the courses.

Learning outcomes

After Functional Materials minor program student can:

1. Explain solid state structure and phenomena, including mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical, thermal behaviour of metals, polymers, ceramics and composites
2. Evaluate material properties of metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, biomaterials and nanomaterials
3. Design new materials and predict their behaviour
4. Understand the engineering possibilities and limitations of new materials
