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.
- Apply different analytical techniques, analytical and numerical methods, as well as software tools in creative problem solving of engineering challenges, proposing sustainable technological solutions.
- Independently organise and plan timelines, apply a general methodology for project planning and management in a business environment
- Evaluate technological processes and products from the perspective of high functionality in different conditions and environmental effects.
- Create a critical analysis, evaluation and interpretation of personal results, and compare them with existing data in scientific and expert literature
- Investigate and analyse implementation of innovative and incoming chemical technologies in multidisciplinary environment
- Demonstrate independence and reliability in independent work, as well as effectiveness, reliability and adaptability in team work
- 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
