Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should:
1. Understand the difference between technology and materials 2. Recognise the differences in behaviour between the different materials
3. Understand the science of materials performance in relation to different environments 4. Understand the role that specialists in investigation, testing and analysis of materials can play in building conservation
5. Be aware of the effects of deterioration processes in materials on performance 6. Recognise the contribution that materials, technology and workforce skills can make to a built environment that is both sustainable
and provides a high quality of life.
Students should be able to observe, draw logical deductions, and make recommendations on the information available. They should be able to commission and discuss, as informed colleagues, the results of specialist investigations and analyses carried
