Abstract
This chapter presents the results of education in the science and technology of materials at the Maritime Faculty at the BSc level. The goal is the experimental observation of mechanical damage to materials and the impact of such damage on the electrical properties of materials. Since small faculties cannot afford to buy devices used in nanotechnology, the chapter introduces optical microscopy as a cheaper way of introducing micro and nano world to students. Experiments presented to students include the influence of corrosion and cracks on the properties of materials. It is also shown that students preferred this way of education to the classical lessons and seminar works. The examples of damage to materials obtained by optical microscope are linked to the theory as an example of the learning process.
