Learning outcomes
| - | The students completing this module will have good basic knowledge on simulation sciences, especially those relevant to materials science and engineering. Depending on the selection of the complementary courses, students can choose to be more specialized in materials science or in structural engineering. This module will prepare the student for both basic academic career in material science and material physics as well as for applied mechanical engineering. |
Prerequisites
A good overall knowledge of solid state physics is an extremely strong recommendation for this module. This knowledge can also be obtained at Aachen by taking the course MOL-10116. ( Advisable )
