Course Description
This course is conducted in parallel with the **Materials Science II – MBN202** course. In the laboratory sessions, practical applications will be carried out to establish the relationships among the simultaneously taught theoretical components of *processing–structure–properties*. Within this scope, experiments related to topics such as crystal structure, electrical conductivity in metals and semiconductors, the Hall effect, magnetism, optical properties, and corrosion will be introduced to students. The course aims to provide students with hands-on experience in observation, data collection and evaluation, as well as in reporting scientific results.
