Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

This course is an introduction to the electrical and magnetic properties of solid materials. The relationships between the macroscopic properties and the atomic structure are described without resorting to complex mathematical developments. The theoretical sections are illustrated by exercises and a specific section reviews some practical aspects and applications.  Examples and exercises are chosen amongst the different types of materials (metals, ceramics, glasses and polymers).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The objective of the course is to provide the students with the basic knowledge necessary to get access to more advanced textbooks or literature related to material properties and applications.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Theoretical course illustrated by many exercices involving schemes/figures/tables from literature. A few carefully-selected videos help to visualise some concepts and applications.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

face-to-face

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

Recommended or required readings

available via e-campus
copy of the slides and list of exercices + self-learning unit for one the chapters of the section on magnetic properties
