Presentation: brief description of course objectives, course plan, lectures, and assessment.

Laboratory demonstrations on various classes of materials, followed by discussion and brainstorming sessions. Distribution of the topics to be developed by each student throughout the semester as a form of Individual Oral Presentations along with guidance on the development of a Material Data Sheet.

First Session of Individual Oral Presentations (Seven Slides, ~7 min): Ultrasound Contrast Agents; Metal-Ceramic Composites; Platinum Alloys; Perovskite Solar Cells; Ferroelectric Ceramics; Metal-Organic Frameworks; Membranes in Lithium-Ion Batteries; Organic Light Emitting Diodes. Each presentation followed by a discussion.

Lecture on Thin Films: nucleation and growth mechanisms, deposition methods, structural and morphological analysis.

Lecture on Thin Films (Continuation): nucleation and growth mechanisms, deposition methods, structural and morphological analysis, and case studies.

Lecture on Thin Films (Conclusion): nucleation and growth mechanisms, deposition methods, structural and morphological analysis, and case studies.

Second Session (Part A) of Individual Oral Presentations (Fifteen Slides, ~15 min): Organic Light Emitting Diodes; Metal-Organic Frameworks; Ferroelectric Ceramics; Metal-Ceramic Composites. Each presentation was followed by a discussion.

Second Session (Part B) of Individual Oral Presentations (Fifteen Slides, ~15 min): Ultrasound Contrast Agents; Perovskite Solar Cells; Membranes in Lithium-Ion Batteries; Platinum Alloys. Each presentation was followed by a discussion.

Clarification session to address questions about the final presentation.

Third Session (Final Presentation, Part A) of Individual Oral Presentations (Twenty Slides, ~20 min): Metal Ceramic Composites; Metal-Organic Frameworks; Membranes in Lithium-Ion Batteries; Perovskite Solar Cells. Each presentation followed by a discussion.

Third Session (Final Presentation, Part B) of Individual Oral Presentations (Twenty Slides, ~20 min): Ultrasound Contrast Agents; Organic Light Emitting Diodes; Platinum Alloys; Ferroelectric Ceramics. Each presentation followed by a discussion.

Final evaluation of the theoretical and practical component, considering individual presentations and the Word document (material data sheet).
