DESCRIPTION OF TEACHING METHODS
Teaching methods individually tailored to the student: lectures and/or consultations.

TESTING EXECUTION
Preparation of an independent seminar paper related to a topic of scientific or professional interest for the student.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT COURSE LEVEL
1. To analyse the impact of surface and interfacial phenomena on the application properties of the material.
2. To estimate the properties of the material in the set application conditions based on the thermodynamic principles and corresponding calculations.
3. To connect mechanisms of friction and wear with the structure and tribological properties of materials in the application.
4. To recommend appropriate testing methods of surface properties of materials together with the evaluation of their results.
5. To propose an appropriate surface modification in order to improve the tribological properties of the material.
6. To liaise the key parameters of adhesion, friction, and wear with optimum material properties in the application.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT PROGRAM LEVEL
1. Systematize knowledge skills and competencies for their scientific field and field of study.
2. Evaluate the skills and methods of experimental and theoretical research related to their scientific field and field of study.
