Aims/Description: This unit will provide an insight into the design, manufacturing technology and failure analysis of inorganic materials in a relevant industrial sector. This will be in collaboration with a company working in the area of glasses or ceramics. The company will set a real technical challenge and small group sizes will undertake modelling and/or experimental work and present a report that will require an in-depth literature review.
