Bachelor's Degree - Engineering & Technology
Materials Science Engineering via distance learning
The Bachelor's Degree discusses the important properties of three primary types of material and their composites: metals, ceramics, and polymers. It describes the relationships between the structural elements of these materials and their characteristics. It depicts the mechanical behavior and failure of these materials and portrays the techniques used to improve these deficiencies through structural elements' alteration. It also discusses the corrosive, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties of these materials in addition to relevant economic, environmental, and societal issues.

About learning: “Studying has always been my passion. When enrolling at BIU, I was worried not to go in-depth in my studies... I have to admit now, that I was fascinated with the degree program I pursued. It was highly concise but, at the same time, gave me access to invaluable research material”. More info...
Learning outcomes: Bachelor's - Materials Science Engineering
The following learning outcomes are compatible with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) for lifelong learning and continuing education. The EQF directives facilitate acceptance of this course credits by many higher education institution. These learning outcomes are achieved after completion of this course with a passing grade. Better grades will demonstrate higher analysis, evaluation and critical thinking skills. More info...
EQF LEVEL 4. Specialized knowledge and comprehension.
Outcome resulting from comprehensive reading and classification of the main concepts of the book.
After a comprehensive reading of the course suggested textbook, the student will explain the interrelationships, hierarchy, and overall meaning of Materials Science Engineering key concepts. The selected concepts will then become the skeleton for the development of the required written report. Several reviews and adjustments of the course contents will be necessary to meet the 20 to 35 pages report length limits and demonstrate a solid and specialized knowledge about Materials Science Engineering. More info...
EQF LEVEL 5. Applicable knowledge and problem resolution.
Outcome resulting from course content analysis and practical applications included in the report.
The student is required to illustrate the contents with examples of practical application or case studies to analyze the effect and potential results of the application of the knowledge about Materials Science Engineering. This process also involves the transformation of the information learned: graphic and numeric data into verbal and vice versa; as well as interpreting, explaining, and summarizing the main ideas of Materials Science Engineering and their applicability in the professional field of Engineering & Technology.
