What is DERMAP-EL?

DERMAP-EL is an online training course about materials selection from a Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) perspective. The course is aimed at designers, mechanical engineers and professionals who want to deepen their knowledge of materials selection strategies with particular reference to CRM-related issues. It offers theoretical and practical lectures with extensive use of case-studies, giving participants a better understanding of the mitigating strategies used to counter CRM-related problems.

COURSE Modules

The course is divided in 10 modules. Each module consists of a video lesson of about 20 minuntes, and a downloadable PDF file with supporting information.

Topics covered by the modules are:

Introduction to CRMs
Materials selection in engineering and design
Materials for sustainability and eco-design
Materials properties diagrams
The materials selection procedure
Multiple constraints and objectives
Materials selection and shape
Materials selection for eco-design from a CRMs perspective
Computer-aided selection
Case-studies

After the completion of each module:
Verification test for course accreditation
Certificate of participation delivery
