COURSE OBJECTIVES
To provide students with fundamental engineering knowledge and an understanding of the mechanical behaviour of materials. To develop a solid foundation in the mechanical behaviour of structural materials and the design of structural elements. To foster an integrated approach to solving engineering problems.

PREREQUISITE COURSES
None.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Distinguish between the basic types of structural loading.
2. Analyse the cause-and-effect relationship between stress and strain in a broader engineering context.
3. Relate the principles of mechanics of materials to mechanical structures.
4. Analyse two-dimensional stress and strain states.
5. Analyse and optimise deformation and microstructural processes.
6. Relate the methodology of mechanics of materials testing to the development of materials and products and identify appropriate processing and manufacturing methods.

LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE STUDY PROGRAM TO WHICH THE LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THIS COURSE CONTRIBUTE
This course contributes to the following programme learning outcomes:
1. Explain the scientific foundations relevant to chemistry and materials engineering, particularly in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and chemical engineering.

STUDENT OBLIGATIONS
Attendance at lectures, seminars, and laboratory classes; completion of homework assignments; and submission of laboratory reports.

MONITORING OF STUDENTS WORK
Student performance is monitored through:
- Class attendance
- Class participation
- Experimental work
- Continuous assessment
- Laboratory reports
- Written examination
- Oral examination


GRADING AND ASSESSMENT DURING CLASS AND ON THE FINAL EXAM
The course is assessed through a written and an oral examination.
Students who achieve a cumulative minimum of 101 points across the two midterm examinations are exempt from the written examination. The scores from Midterm 1 and Midterm 2 are added together, with a maximum of 200 points (100 + 100). This exemption is valid for all examination periods within the current academic year.
Students who did not take Midterm 1 or scored fewer than 25 points on Midterm 1 are not eligible to take Midterm 2.
Students may take the oral examination until the end of the current academic year.
Students who do not satisfy the midterm requirements must take the written examination, in which they must achieve at least 50% of the available points, followed by the oral examination.
Students repeating the course who are eligible to take the examination may take both the midterm examinations and the final examination without re-attending lectures.
A maximum of 200 points can be earned in the course. Each midterm examination carries a maximum of 100 points.
Passing Requirements
A minimum cumulative score of 101 points on the two midterm examinations to obtain exemption from the written examination.
Successful completion of all laboratory exercises.
Submission of at least three homework assignments.
No more than five absences from classes.
The final grade is based on the cumulative points earned through midterm examinations, attendance, laboratory work, and homework assignments, according to the following scale:
Grade Points
Sufficient (2) 101-125
Good (3) 126-150
Very Good (4) 151-175
Excellent (5) 176-200
