Learning outcomes of the course unit
- Characterize the various types of waste, to name a split ways of recycling waste.
- Define the chemical toxic inorganic and organic substances.
- Describe (based on current knowledge) the main mechanisms contributing to global warming, can describe the principle greenhouse effect.
- Discuss different perspectives on the global environment, with a focus on European legislation, the U.S. legislation and legislation in developing countries.
- Explain the concept of sustainability and describe the evolution and current status of applicable legislation.
- Describe the mechanisms of corrosion of metals and define the basics of coatings.
- Describe the basic symptoms of electrostatic, magnetic and electromagnetic fields and their effect on biological systems.
- Can describe the life cycle of the product and describe the fault model of the product. They can characterize faults define the probability of failure.
