The students graduating from this study specialization will have the following learning outcomes: ability to design welded structures, components or welding processes (including the conventional, unconventional and the related processes) to meet the desired needs; knowledge of contemporary issues in design, evaluation, reliability and structural integrity analyses of welded structures; profound knowledge of engineering materials and their behaviour during exploitation and welding; ability to model, analyse, fabricate and maintain welding structures, components and processes with a special emphasis on non-destructive testing methods and in-service behaviour; ability to carry out failure analysis and welding procedure specifications and to assess the behaviour of welded joints in the conditions of creep, fatigue, friction, wear, and corrosion.
