Dr. Emilio CASTRO - ecastro@uic.es

Office hours

Appointments for face-to-face tutoring, both to resolve doubts about theoretical or practical aspects of the subject and to prepare individual assignments, are organized by e-mail (ecastro@uic.es), giving priority to consultations at the times agreed with the teacher at the beginning of the academic year.

Introduction

The industrial use of materials is more interesting when more easily it is possible to obtain with them usable pieces and shapes, either directly or through a sequence of processes; as well as the characteristics and behavior in service of the pieces for those materials. The subject offers a modern approach to the different options of shaping, the different shaping processes and the tools and equipment to be used, considering the manufacturing processes as an objective science, rather than as a descriptive art, and giving an orientation to bioengineering.

Pre-course requirements

Subjects: Materials, Biomaterials and biocompatibility, Advances materials and selection of materials.

Objectives

• Introduce students into the industrial manufacturing technologies, including different types of machining, smelting, shaping and welding processes.

• Implement methodologies to select shaping processes for many industrial applications.

• Know the fundamentals of most common processing technologies (shaping, heat treatments and welding) for the different families of materials and assess their suitability according to the application.

Competences / Learning outcomes of the degree programme

  • CB2 - Students must know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and have the competences that are demonstrated through the creation and defence of arguments and the resolution of problems within their field of study.
  • CB4 - Students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  • CG8 - To apply quality principles and methods.
  • CT2 - The ability to link welfare with globalisation and sustainability; to acquire the ability to use skills, technology, the economy and sustainability in a balanced and compatible manner.
  • CT4 - To be able to work as a member of an interdisciplinary team, whether as a member or by management tasks, with the aim of contributing to undertaking projects based on pragmatism and a feeling of responsibility, taking on commitment while bearing the resources available in mind.
  • CE10 - To design fixed and removable structures for the application of prosthetics and orthotics.
  • CE11 - To evaluate manufacturing, metrological and quality control systems and processes.

Learning outcomes of the subject

At the end of the course, the student:

  • Learn the relationship between microstructure, synthesis or processing and the properties of materials.
  • Understand and apply materials testing standards.
  • Interiorize, understand and give explanations related to the selection of materials, their shaping, their treatment, coatings and modes of use.
  • Solve problems related to the engineering of manufacturing processes, based on the materials that make up the element.
  • Use computer tools to calculate and design the engineering of the manufacturing processes.
  • Make manufacturing decisions optimizing product efficiency.
  • Know the parts of the manufacturing processes.
  • Performs control and verification of products after been procesed.
  • Solve problems of metrology during the manufacturing processes.
  • Know the regulations to manufacture the materials parts of the pieces.
  • Select the optimal manufacturing process for a given piece.
  • Learn the main manufacturing technologies and characterization of biological and biomaterial materials.

Teaching and learning activities

In person

Active teaching methodologies in small groups such as the case method, problem-based learning (ABP), computer simulation, classroom gamification, etc.

The theory classes will be an introduction to the different topics discussed, to make available to the student everything related to the materials used in advanced bioengineering.

The classes considered practical will be eminently problem solving and study of practical cases of selection and application of advanced materials in the field of bioengineering.

The practices will be to search for information and applications of specific advanced materials.

In theory and practice classes, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), such as audiovisual media (videos, computer presentations, ...), is offered when this improves the clarity of class exposure, and the use of the virtual campus in Moodle will be promoted as the main way to manage student work, communicate with them, distribute study material, etc.

During the course, students will be asked to complete the following training activities:

¨      Problem solving- Bulletin.

¨      Writing technical reports.

¨      Oral exhibitions – Machine/tool fair.

¨      Computer tools (Consultation of databases of processes and technologies of shaping materials in Internet).

¨      Contribution to the moodle platform.

¨      Partial exam (control).

¨      Final exam.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person

The structuring of the subject in theoretical and practical sessions involves the evaluation of the knowledge and skills acquired in a differentiated and complementary manner. In the case of the contents of the theoretical sessions, they will be evaluated in a partial test and in a final test, both written and that will take into account both the ability to relate the contents of the different topics in a transversal way, as well as the development of one's own thinking. .

Regarding the practical part of the subject, the evaluation will be continued, considering the following aspects with different relative weight: attendance and participation in class, final course work and peer evaluation, and debate after the reading of the complementary bibliography.

In order for both parts of the subject to be able to average and thus obtain the final grade for the subject, it will be necessary for both parts of the subject to pass independently.

The student's qualification will be:

First call

Final qualification = 0.40 Final exam + 0.25 Partial exam + 0.25 Final course work (Machine-Tool Exhibition) + 0.05 Class participation + 0.05 summaries and outlines of the topics covered and writing of a machine/shaping technology technical inform.

Second call

Final qualification = 0.70 Final exam + 0.25 Final course work (debate) + 0.05 summaries and outlines of the topics covered and writing of a machine/shaping technology technical inform.

 

Important considerations:

  1. Plagiarism, copying or any other action that may be considered cheating will be zero in that evaluation section. Besides, plagiarism during exams will mean the immediate failing of the whole subject.
  2. Changes of the calendar, exam dates or the evaluation system will not be accepted.
  3. Exchange students (Erasmus and others) or repeaters will be subjected to the same conditions as the rest of the students.
