Aims

The aim of the course is to acquaint the students with specific field of process engineering. Students will learn how to work with design and technological documentation and how to effectively communicate with measurement and control system experts.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Seminars are held in the computer laboratory.
The lecture is combined with the demonstration of computerized solution of partial problems.
The students may work in the laboratory also at the agreed time besides regular lessons. Attendance at seminars is mandatory. Any absence should be discussed with the teacher.
