Learning objectives

Learning the basic steps of chemical engineering design - from the project task to the conceptual solution. Synthesis of knowledge acquired in basic study.

Learning outcomes

The student is able to independently create a project task, give a preliminary estimate of the cost of a process plant and knows the structure of the technological project. He has acquired knowledge in two-dimensional design by using software.
