F3 Is able to think critically and creatively, make reasoned decisions and has holistic approach to the impact of engineering decisions on the environment and society.
F4 Recognise the need for, and have the ability to engage in independent, life-long learning.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Material of the study modules is gained both by activity in auditorium and individual work, practicum. Activity in auditorium includes lectures, group research and practical work, consultation seminars. Individual work is comprised by study of theoretical material, preparation for lectures, group research and practical work, midterms and exam, projects and other activities designed to acquire knowledge, skills and abilities. The program applies innovative study methods such as: group work, problem-solving sessions, guest’s lectures, concept mapping, product development project etc. Study program is accomplished by final degree project.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Knowledge, abilities and skills that the students acquire during the course of the program are graded and registered at databases. The final degree project is defended in the public session of the studies’ branch qualification committee.
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Study program is comprised of general university study subjects: Foreign Language, Philosophy, Sustainable Development, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics; subjects of engineering basics: Process Engineering, Information Technology, Engineering Graphics etc.; subjects of the main field of study: Processes in the Environment, Air Quality Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Waste Management Technologies, Pollution Prevention and Management, Climate Change Management Technologies, Toxicology and Risk Assessment, Circular Economy and Law etc. In total, 37 subjects are studied in the program.
Specialisations:
None
Optional courses:
Students can choose elective philosophy or sustainable development alternatives as well as competency alternatives by selecting courses from the field of study, poll of BA+ competencies or creating personal set of modules.
