Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes
- Utilise advanced laboratory procedures and instruments for synthesis of new products, create sustainable processes, and solve problems of water, air and soil pollution.
- Apply different analytical techniques, analytical and numerical methods, as well as software tools in creative problem solving of engineering challenges, proposing sustainable technological solutions.
- Optimise complete and sustainable technological processes using analysis and modelling aimed at waste minimization utilising the strategy of the closed cycle manufacturing.
- Independently organise and plan timelines, apply a general methodology for project planning and management in a business environment
- Create a critical analysis, evaluation and interpretation of personal results, and compare them with existing data in scientific and expert literature
- Outline results of independent and teamwork in a written and oral form to non-experts and experts in a clear and coherent way.
- Communicate with the scientific and professional community, as well as society in general in local and international surroundings
Expected learning outcomes at the level of the course (3 to 10 learning outcomes)
- Explain means and materials for membrane preparation, and how to characterize membranes
- Define types of membrane operations and design membrane systems
