14309 - Modern Concepts of Materials Design Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14309
Module Title:Modern Concepts of Materials Design
  Moderne Konzepte der Materialentwicklung
Department: Faculty 2 - Environment and Natural Sciences
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Klepel, Olaf
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After completing the module, students will have an overview of current topics and activities in materials research. They will be able to derive strategies for the synthesis and characterisation of materials based on the evaluation of scientific literature and implement them in practice using selected examples.
Contents:- Current materials research in the working groups of the Institute of Materials Chemistry
- Synthesis and characterisation of inorganic or organic materials using selected examples, scope and content will be determined by the working group leaders at the beginning of the practical course
Recommended Prerequisites:none
Mandatory Prerequisites:none
Forms of Teaching and Proportion:
  • Lecture / 1 Hours per Week per Semester
  • Laboratory training / 4 Hours per Week per Semester
  • Self organised studies / 105 Hours
Teaching Materials and Literature:Scientific literature on the research topics of the Institute's working groups
Module Examination:Continuous Assessment (MCA)
Assessment Mode for Module Examination:1. Report on the laboratory work carried out in the form of a scientific publication of approx. 10 to 20 pages (60%)
2.  Presentation (15 min) and discussion (10 min) of the results (40%)
Evaluation of Module Examination:Performance Verification – graded
Limited Number of Participants:20
Part of the Study Programme:
  • Master (research-oriented) / Chemistry: Materials, Engineering and Sustainability / PO 2025
Remarks:At the beginning of the module, the research groups of the Institute of Materials Chemistry present their research topics as part of a lecture block, which usually takes place in the first week of the semester. The students then work on a task from a current research topic of a research group. Students can choose the group themselves, although the current capacities of the group must be taken into account. The decision as to whether the internship can be completed in a research group therefore lies with the head of the group.
