      The goalSurface Engineering course aims to introduce students to the processes taking place at surfaces and interfaces, with an emphasis on solid surface phase boundary with gaseous and liquid phase. Acquiring theoretical background in surface modification by application of various modern technologies, as well as learning methods of nanomaterials production. Students should acquire the fundamentals of modern surface characterization techniques
      The outcomeStudents have learnt characteristics of phase boundaries and are familiar with surface modification by various techniques of thin coatings deposition. Students would be able to obtain a unified view of criteria to choose the method of a surface modification to improve the desired properties of the substrate. Student has acquired basic theoretical knowledge of the application of modern techniques in testing and characterization of surfaces.
