COURSE DESCRIPTION
Under the supervision of teachers in the study Environmental Engineering, students individually or in small groups (2 to 3) conduct experiments related to unit operations and processes related to environmental protection. They work on an experimental plan, the analysis of the results, the report and the presentation of the work.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: Enable environmental engineering students to acquire laboratory practice, computer skills, presentation preparation skills, expression skills through presentations, and writing skills through the preparation of a final report.
COURSE CONTENT (SYLLABUS)
Week 1: The first meeting of all teachers and students where the teachers (mentors) present the project topics to the students and the students opt for a particular project.
Week 2 to 4: Students meet with teachers (mentors) and work out a project topic.
Week 5: Second meeting of all teachers and students where students present their views on the project topic and review literature.
Week 5 to 8: Students meet with teachers (mentors) and develop an experimental plan and familiarise themselves with the lab.
Week 9: The third meeting of all teachers and students, where students present the experimental plan and describe the techniques and equipment they will use during their experimental work in the lab
Week 10 to 24: Students meet with teacher mentors and conduct experiments in the lab according to the experimental plan
Week 25: The fourth meeting of all teachers and students, where students present the results of their experimental measurements and their analysis.
Week 26 to 29: Students meet with teacher-mentors, prepare a final presentation, and write a final report on their project topic
Week 30: The fifth meeting of all teachers and students, where students present a project topic including the task, experimental plan, experimental results, analysis of experimental results, and conclusions, and submit a final written report.
ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS AND/ OR REQUIRED ACCESS COMPETENCIES FOR THE COURSE: Material and Energy balance, Technical thermodynamics, Unit operations in environmental engineering, Fluid mechanics, Reactors and bioreactors
DEVELOPMENT OF GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES OF STUDENTS:
GENERAL COMPETENCES
Students acquire basic theoretical and experimental knowledge necessary for independent development of a project topic, and work in groups to develop team problem-solving skills.
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES
Students applying all the acquired knowledge in the study for independent task solving, and gain practice in the laboratory, searching for literature, preparing presentations, presenting and writing reports.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES: Students are required to attend joint meetings of teachers and students, come to the lab in consultation with the teacher (mentor), participate in making presentations and present their findings, and submit a final written report at the end of the course.
FORMAT OF TEACHING: Joint meetings of teachers and students in the classroom, meetings with the teacher (mentor), and laboratory work in laboratories.
SURVEILLANCE STUDENT WORK: Summative evaluation of the preparation and presentation of the topics, the final report and the efforts in the laboratory.
METHOD OF MONITORING THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF COURSES: student survey.
LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF COURSE (4-8):
1. research and solve a project task - a topic in a team or individually.
2. relate the task with literature search - web; libraries.
3. use PowerPoint independently to prepare the presentation.
4. write the final report: introduction, theoretical part, experimental part, presentation and discussion of results, conclusions, literature.
5. present the project task and results in front of a larger audience.
LEARN OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME STUDY:
1. solve engineering problems by understanding of engineering processes and their design
2. plan experiments and their implementation to verify the hypothesis
3. apply different analytical techniques, analytical and numerical methods and software tools to solve engineering problems
4. show an independence and reliability in independent work and the efficiency, reliability and adaptability in teamwork
5. explain the results of their work to non-specialists, experts from other disciplines and international partners
