After successful completion of the course, students are able to analyze correlations between structure and properties of materials using simple and largely universal physical models.Furthermore, they will know the corresponding material parameters with their orders of magnitude and will be able to solve typical examples from the field of materials science.

The chapter numbers refer to the book "G. Fasching: "Werkstoffe für die Elektrotechnik"; Springer-Verlag, 2006".
