DEVELOPING GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES OF STUDENTS
General student competencies: students are trained to solve pollution problems; introduction of the principles of pollution reduction and optimal treatment of the generated pollution and waste.
Specific competencies of students: acquire knowledge and competencies on the application of pollution reduction principles, methods of evaluation and assessment of pollution, sources and types of pollution / waste, technologies for solid waste management and organization of solid waste management.

STUDENTS 'TEACHING OBLIGATIONS AND THEIR PERFORMANCE
Attendance at all forms of teaching is mandatory, a minimum of 75%. Absence from laboratory exercise must be compensated. Before taking the exam, the student is required to do all the exercises and submit a seminar paper.

TEACHING METHODS
Lectures, exercises, seminars, fieldwork

MANNER OF EXAMINATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXAMINATION
Two partial exams or a written and, if necessary, an oral exam.

METHOD OF MONITORING THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF COURSES
Student survey

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Argue elements from life cycle analysis (LCA)
2. Choose waste recovery technologies
3. Recommend a method for estimating the composition of solid waste
4. Identify the basic elements of physical, chemical and biological mechanisms important for the quality and sustainability of ecosystems
5. Evaluate comprehensive waste management technologies
6. Identify problems in the field of environmental protection

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT PROGRAM LEVEL
1. connect the basic elements of physical, chemical and biological mechanisms important for the quality and sustainability of ecosystems
2. link expertise in local and global environmental protection, environmental improvement and management, and environmental legislation
3. identify the problem by integrated application of basic sciences in the field of environmental protection
4. optimize complete technologies with a minimum amount of waste, which includes their analysis and modeling, while respecting the strategy of a closed production cycle
