Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course covers the following topics :
- Synthesis of nanomaterials and divided materials;
- Study of their structure;
- Shaping;
- Excepted properties by the final user;
- Relation between the preparation process of a material and its final performances through its structure and physico-chemical properties.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to :
- Examine questions that arise during the developement of large scale manufacture processes of nano- or finely divided materials;
- Present possible technical solutions.
This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.1, I.2, II.1, II.2, III.1, III.2, IV.2, V.1, V.2, VI.1, VI.2, VII.1, VII.2, VII.3, VII.4 of the MSc in biomedical engineering.
This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.1, I.2, II.1, II.2, III.1, III.2, IV.2, V.1, V.2, VI.1, VI.2, VII.1, VII.2, VII.3, VII.4 of the MSc in chemical and material science engineering.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Chemistry and physics courses of the first cycle.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is composed of theory sessions and one project in a group of 2 or 3 students.
Theory sessions introduce new concepts which are illustrated with numerous exemples from academic and industrial research.
The project in group aims at illustrating theoretical notions. They consist in the use description of nanomaterials in the current life.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
Copy of slides
Assessment methods and criteria
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam AND written work
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
Additional information:
Work in group : 40% of the final note.
Final oral exam : 60% of the final note.
Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
The courses takes place face-to-face in the first semester if the number of students is less than or equal to 15.
If the number of students is greater than 15, the students will be divided into two groups which will be hosted in the classroom in alternation. Each course will be then registered and put online to allow to students to follow the course.
