Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for the specific course. For an unimpeded class work prospective students are expected to a) have good background knowledge of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, and b) possess creative vision. Knowledge of a foreign language is necessary.
Learning Outcomes
Students for the course are expected to:
gain knowledge of basic concepts, principles and applications of modern chemistry with applications in mechanical engineering,
develop their personal skills and critical judgment on basic knowledge of general, inorganic chemistry and chemistry of advanced materials,
understand the basic theory of general and inorganic chemistry, and will be in a position to apply the relevant principles in mechanical engineering,
gain knowledge of the basic characteristics of qualitative chemical research in modern inorganic chemistry and understand its role in mechanical engineering and current applications in modern hybrid technological materials, energy and the environment.
get trained on methodological and practical issues that may arise from the involvement of a contemporary mechanical engineering researcher in the specific field
General Competences
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
