COURSES

Goals

The objective of the course is to train a student for R&D in the field of technologies of heat treatment and surface engineering of metallic materials, for selected applications. This objective is related to competences: modelling of processes and production management, gained knowledge will allow using scientific methods for solving complex scientific and research tasks, guidance of developmental and of research programmes, as also for development and use of new technology with the goal of revitalization and modernization of production, ability to carry out independent as well as team R&D work, ability to use the knowledge in practice, and partially also to the development of an integral way of thinking and the ability to communicate with experts from other disciplines and fields.
