Kompetenzen |
| (*)Students will be able to understand, apply, and explain the structural, production, mechanical, and electrochemical properties of inorganic materials in high-tech applications. They will also evaluate their applications in various fields, possible substitutes for critical materials, and understand the economic and social aspects of rare but sometimes indispensable materials as well as the strong production coupling of by-metals and their recycling.
