The School of Engineering at the University of Surrey cordially invites you to attend the courseCeramics and Ceramic Matrix Composites to be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK on 14 - 18 May, 2007.
The course will provide a detailed consideration of the processing and mechanical properties of engineering ceramics and ceramic matrix composites.
The functional properties of ceramics will be introduced, as will topics such as wear, thermomechanical behaviour, design and fractography. In these topics, both ceramics and ceramic matrix composites will be considered, where appropriate. Additionally, there will be lectures on individual groups of materials. The lecture content will be reinforced and enhanced through tutorial/exercise class sessions.
The course is designed for scientists and engineers seeking an understanding of engineering ceramics and ceramic matrix composites. It is suitable for graduates with no or limited ceramic experience wishing to widen the scope of their knowledge. There are no formal prerequisites but some basic knowledge of materials science will be assumed.
Commencing at 09:30 am on Monday 14th May 2007, the course will finish by 5:00 on Friday 18th May.
Ceramics and Ceramic Matrix Composites is part of the Advanced Materials Pr ogramme: a range of short courses which may be taken individually or from which 7 courses may be selected and linked together with assessments and a project to form a modular, part-time MSc Degree Programme.
