- Description/content
- The inorganic engineering materials such as steel and ceramics cover all the strategic industries and are key materials for transport section, energy technology, machine and plant construction, and the building industry. The true understanding of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and functional properties at nano-, micro-, and macro-levels followed by the chemical and physical interactions at interfaces/surfaces of the inorganic engineering materials is an unlimited tool for their continuous development and technology optimisation.
Course objectives
TAIEM graduates will be able to:
• Solve general and specific problems in the steel and ceramic producing industries
• Select suitable steel and ceramic for a specific application
• Evaluate properties of steels and ceramics on several scales and estimate their behaviour under real industrial conditions
• Detect and solve problems relating to the technology and applications of steels and ceramics
• Manage a technology-oriented research project
Job opportunities
Fields of work include the followings:
• Iron and steel-making industry
• Metal processing industry
• Ceramic and refractory industry
