Synopsis:

Within the course, students will be introduced to the different types of materials, their structural and physical characteristics, technological procedures in their production and their machining. The course focuses on the following materials: concrete, reinforced concrete, glass-cement composites, glass in various modifications, wood and its agglomerates.

Seminar paper

The topic of the final seminar paper will be selected by the teacher.

The student collects the necessary data, analyzes them and prepares the final form in text form, supplemented by photodocumentation or graphic attachments related to the topic.
