| COURSE DESCRIPTION |
Course objectives |
Student will be able to use the aspects of electrochemical engineering on electrochemical processes. Also, he will be introduced to fundamental principles for optimisation electrochemical processes. |
Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course |
|
Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes) |
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- define the components in the electrochemical reactor, and describe the operation in the same
- define which materials are used for manufacturing electrochemical reactors and their components
- evaluate the balance of power, materials and energy in the electrochemical reactor
- differentiate primary and secondary current distribution and potential
- define the basic types of electrochemical reactors
- ascertain and select the ways of connecting the electrodes and the reactor in practice |

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
The complete exam can be passed through two tests during semester. The passing score is 60 % and the fraction of each test is 40%. In the final grade laboratory exercises has fraction of 20%. In the exam period the student has to attend to oral exam (passing score is 60%). Grades: successful (60% – 69%), good (70% – 79%), very good (80% – 89%), excellent (90% – 100%). |

Quality assurance methods that ensure the acquisition of exit competences |
- Tracking suggestions and reactions of participants during the semester
- Student survey
Quality assurance will be performed at three levels:
(1) University Level;
(2) Faculty Level by Quality Control Committee;
(3) Lecturer’s Level. |
