Microstructural and Surface Characterisation
Understanding the internal structure of materials is essential for explaining why engineering components succeed or fail. This module introduces the advanced experimental techniques that engineers use to investigate material microstructures, surfaces and defects, providing the evidence needed to support materials development, quality assurance and failure analysis.
You will explore a range of characterisation methods, including optical microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, diffraction techniques, surface profilometry and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Through laboratory work or literature-based analysis, you will develop practical skills in interpreting microstructural and surface data while gaining an appreciation of the capabilities and limitations of each technique. Throughout the module, you will strengthen your ability to relate microscopic observations to engineering performance using examples from aerospace, automotive and marine applications.
By the end of the module, you will be able to select and interpret appropriate characterisation techniques for engineering materials, providing an essential skill set for materials engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance and engineering research. -

Microstructural and Surface Characterisation
This module on microstructural analysis and surface characterisation of materials and components considers Surface Profilometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy, diffraction techniques, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), and a range of other techniques. For each technique, the aspects covered include: relevant theoretical background, sample preparation, equipment capabilities and limitation of the techniques.
Examples of usage are drawn mainly from materials used in aerospace, automotive and marine industries. As part of the module either a laboratory involving hands on use of the SEM and/or TEM can be taken or, alternatively, a coursework on the interpretation of microstructural analysis and surface characterisation from literature can be elected. -

Migration
The material covers ideas from many disciplines. Migration represents movement across space, influencing and changing the environments of both the origin and destination locations (geography). It is both affected by and affects population structures and compositions (demography). Migration is often caused by individual or household decisions for gains in economic welfare (economics), whilst being encouraged, controlled, or restricted by states (political science). Migration involves motives for leaving and adaptation to new societies (social psychology), and affects social and cultural systems (sociology). These issues (and more) are included in the topics and discussions contained in this course.
