Course Coordinator

ASISTANT PROFESSOR MURAT ALKAN

Offered to

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Course Objective

This course covers the definitions of Dimensions, System of Units and Conversion Factors. Metallurgical production processes with calculations of materials and energy balances are covered within the framework of this course. The stages of the industrial processes in the field of Metallurgical Engineering are designed by using a thermodynamic and/or process simulation software.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Ability to apply knowledge of fundamental sciences and engineering.
2   To describe a system with its units and dimensions.
3   Ability to describe the stages of the metallurgical production processes.
4   Ability to calculate materials and energy balances in a basic or complex metallurgical process.
5   Ability of students to learn and use thermodynamic and process simulation/modelling software.
6   Ability to make a simulation of a system, a process and/or a product in the field of Metallurgical Engineering in the most efficient way while calculating the materials and energy balances with its results.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Midterm exams and Final exam are closed books exams. The questions in the exams, and homework assignments are correlated with the Learning outcomes.

Assessment Criteria

The Learning Outcomes are evaluated by the questions in the exams and by the homework assignments. Group homework assignments increase the teamwork skills of the students.

Language of Instruction

English

Course Policies and Rules

Lectures and exams are conducted in order to "Educational and Examinational Regulations" of DEU Engineering Faculty. One personal and one group homework are assigned, and students must deliver their homework on-time. Group homework are presented in last two weeks within the class hours. The students that don t finish and deliver the homework before deadline and don t present their presentations are Failed (VF) for this course.
