Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes
- Compile and apply advanced knowledge of natural and technical sciences, particularly chemical engineering and environmental engineering in solving scientific, professional and general social problems.
- Solve engineering problems using the scientific method combining expert knowledge from chemistry, environmental, and chemical engineering as well as material science and engineering.
- Correlate expert knowledge from chemistry, chemical engineering and material engineering with awareness of influence on society, economy and environment.
- Plan and independently perform experiments in order to confirm a hypothesis to estimate economic and ecological efficiency of processes.
- Independently organise and plan timelines, apply a general methodology for project planning and management in a business environment
- Demonstrate independence and reliability in independent work, as well as effectiveness, reliability and adaptability in team work
- Communicate with the scientific and professional community, as well as society in general in local and international surroundings
- Develop work ethic, personal responsibility and tendency for further skill and knowledge acquisition, according to standards of engineering practice
Expected learning outcomes at the level of the course (3 to 10 learning outcomes)
1. Define the scope of electrochemical technologies and their principles for use in electrochemical energy storage
2. Explain the electrochemical phenomena and processes that are the basis of the electrochemical energy conversion
