E2 Being able to work and communicating at the national and international level and to make innovative decisions.
E3 Understanding the responsibility for a personal activity and the effects of decisions taken for the society, environment and economic development.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Lectures, laboratory works, individual works, individual and group consultations, analysis of literature sources, seminars, discussions, debates, search, reflection, problem solving, case study, error analysis, theoretical modeling, written works, project preparations, presentations, demonstration, individual as well as team work.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The criterion proportional cumulative grading ten-point scale to assess knowledge and abilities is applied. The learning outcomes of the program and its subjects are evaluated during intermediate semester reporting (midterm tests, projects and their reports, laboratory work reports and defending). The final grade consists of intermediate evaluations and final exam grades.
