      The goalThe goal of the subject is to introduce students to basic physical processes in novel materilas. Through the course of the subject students should gain enough knowledge about mathematical modeling of materials, and also understanding of the essence of material characteristics engineering will be achieved.
      The outcomeStudents are introduced to basics of physical science of materials which are of great importance for material engineering. The program includes: modeling of quasistable electrons in crystal that allows for natural division of the materials into conductors, semiconductors and dielectrics, as well as study of conductive, dilelectric and superconductive materila properties.
