• Semester 5, position 4

Objective of the course is that students acquire academic skills and academic competencies for selection and calculation of strength of high or low pressure vessels, apparatus and equipment. By performing students’ projects, they acquire creative and specific practical skills that qualify them to perform professional work in the field of process equipment design. Through the laboratory experiments and exercises, students gain knowledge of testing and exploiting process equipment.

By successful completion of the study program student acquires the following skills: analysis, synthesis and prediction of solutions and consequences; development of critical thinking and self-critical approach; application of knowledge in practice; professional ethics; correlation of knowledge from different fields and their applications; development of skill and proficiency in the use of knowledge in field of process equipment.
