[{"title":{"valueFi":"Kuvaus","valueEn":"Description","valueSv":""},"content":{"valueEn":"Throughout history, key technological and societal advances were enabled by novel groundbreaking materials: from bronze and glass in ancient times, through iron and steel in the industrial revolution, to plastics and today’s silicon-based computer chips and solar panels. The specialisation track in Modern Industrial Materials trains professionals in materials engineering with a special focus on the materials for the needs of advanced industrial applications. The student will learn about the materials commonly used in today’s global industries, their targeted applications, as well as the demands for the material properties that the different applications require. The programme will introduce characterization tools used to evaluate the properties of materials, both experimental and computational. In addition, the student will learn about the latest trends in materials development and processing, e.g. 3D printing, and the techniques for materials optimization. Teaching will combine the latest research-informed trends in experimental and computational materials engineering with industry case studies and applied skills training through project work.  \r\n  \r\nSustainable development is a key strategic theme at the University of Turku. Our materials engineering programme is designed to address the needs of innovative technologies that promote sustainable development, with materials for renewable energy production and storage and novel bio-based materials.  In addition, we will consider the life cycle of materials with a focus on circular economy trends and up-cycling of materials as feedstock for new products. Novel materials solutions underpin the development of industrial processes and products. This programme seeks to educate future industry leaders who would preserve Earth’s natural resources and shape a more sustainable future society.","valueFi":"","valueSv":""}},{"title":{"valueFi":"Lisätiedot","valueEn":"Further information","valueSv":""},"content":{"valueEn":"The Master’s Degree in Materials Engineering is a two-year programme amounting to 120 ECTS.
