Content, sequencing and organisation |
| Course |
The course will enable future engineers to possess solid knowledge of the physical properties (thermal, electric, magnetic...) of materials and nanomaterials. |
| Supervised studies |
Supervised studies will allow further in-depth study of the notions dealt with in the unit, using case studies |
| Conference |
An external speaker working in nanomaterial research will present new developments on the use of carbon. |
| Practical courses |
The future engineers will use digital tools to describe nano-objects |
