Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The goal of the subject is to acquaint the students with basic principles and unit operations in chemical and foodstuff industries. The lectures are presented in English for the student to master the terminology necessary for independent study in various areas of chemical engineering.
Students are able to study chemical-engineering literature in English, publish and present orally their communications in this field.
Prerequisites
Mathematics I, Physics I, Basic physical chemistry, an ability to understand technical English

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation

The final examination is in the form of a short presentation on the given topic using audio-visual aids. Time for preparation of the presentation is approximately two weeks.
