1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Reasons for starting the study programme

The development of technical materials, starting from metals and ceramics and progressing to polymers, composite and hybrid materials, forms the basis for the development of the economy, and serves as a prerequisite for introduction of new technologies. Due to increase in demand and extension of application areas, properties of materials are continually improved and modified. Consequently, the value of the materials increases, as well as the value of products manufactured from these materials.
However, as early as in the production stage, and especially during use, such products are exposed to various influences and consequential unintentional harmful changes that decrease their usability, shorten service life and have negative effects on the environment. Therefore, due to technical, economical and environmental significance, it is necessary to prevent, or at least mitigate degradation of materials. Different end-of-life products, constructions and similar are disposed of through recycling, in a manner that is both commercially and environmentally acceptable. Considering the limited nature of natural resources, through material, chemical or energetic recycling of waste, the process resource depletion is detained.
Increasing knowledge on materials contributes to the development of a number of industries, presents a strategic development goal in the Republic of Croatia and is consolidated with the priorities of developed European countries. Furthermore, processing of materials is nowadays taking place mostly in small and medium special-purpose production facilities conformed to environment protection standards. Economy as a whole is in demand of a profile of experts trained for lifelong learning, who are able to adopt and apply new technologies. In this respect, it is necessary to make necessary adjustment in available study programmes.
Through introduction of the professional study programme Protection and Recycling of Materials, Faculty of Chemical Technology in Split, as an institution of higher education, aims to provide incentive to economical development and rational management of natural resources. The proposed study programme provides basic engineering knowledge in relation to materials, as well as underpinning knowledge on methods used in quality control and analysis of materials. In addition, knowledge is provided on basic causes of degradation (corrosion, decomposition) of materials and their protection during use. Following the completion of studies, professional bachelors possess skills necessary for involvement in activities related to solving issues of management of various waste materials, thus balancing the relationship between technological development and the environment.
The basic aim and purpose of the study programme is to develop professional skills fundamental for prompt inclusion in the working processes of various industries and small and medium enterprises. Following the completion of studies, employment options include chemical, metal processing, construction, shipbuilding and related industrial facilities, as well as areas of quality assurance and control of final products, management of organic and inorganic waste and other job positions that require expertise and knowledge gained during the course of this study programme.
Due to specific nature of the professional study programme, the only one of this type available in the Republic of Croatia, representation of students from all Croatian regions is anticipated.

1.2. Relationship with the local community (economy, entrepreneurship, civil society, etc.)

With proposal of this study programme, Faculty of Chemistry and Technology responds to the needs of the local community and the University of Split and offers a professional study programme in the field of technical sciences, with focus on protection and recycling of materials, in accordance with the Mediterranean outlook of south Croatia. It should be noted that the proposed study programme is the only one of this type in the country and is not in collision with similar study programmes, either at the University of Split, or in the Republic of Croatia.
The tradition of production and processing of metal, polymers and silicate materials in this region contributed to continuous and permanent education of experts in this area, provided by the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology in Split. Furthermore, ever since it has been established, Faculty of Chemistry and Technology promoted cooperation with the production experts, exchanging theoretical and practical findings in solving specific issues related to production and use of materials. At present, when large industrial facilities are mostly closed, the education of qualified experts serves to support technological development through small and medium enterprises, with skilled experts in the field of chemical engineering performing management and professional tasks. In this manner, significant contribution can be made towards increasing competitiveness of Croatian economy in the region and Europe.

1.3. Compatibility with requirements of professional organizations

Professional study programme Protection and Recycling of Materials has been consolidated with the recommendations of the Croatian Society for Materials Protection, Society of Plastics and Rubber Engineers, as well as the Croatian Society of Chemical Engineers. The study programme pays regard to the specific features of the local community and the region as a whole, emphasises the importance of staff training in the fields of corrosion and degradation protection and protection control, as well as waste management, with a special focus on recycling of materials.
The Association of Former Students and Friends of Faculty of Chemistry and Technology (ALUMNI), active organization formed at the Faculty, also supports development of this study programme.

1.4. Name possible partners outside the higher education system that expressed interest in the study programme

Potential partners outside higher education system that have expressed interest in the professional study programme Protection and Recycling of Materials are business enterprises and public institutions in the Split-Dalmatia County and wider region: AD plastik, Brodosplit, Omial, Cemex, Kalun, Adriacink, Adriachem, Vodovod i kanalizacija (Water supply and sewage services), Ingatest and other county and municipal inspection services.
Some of the stated institutions are willing to serve as teaching centers and provide assistance using available equipment, i.e. have expressed will to cooperate by offering field work courses and practical courses in their facilities.

1.5. Financing

The planned source of financing for the professional study programme Protection and Recycling of Materials is the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. The Faculty of Chemistry and Technology currently offers professional study programme in Chemical Technology with two major fields of study: Chemical Technology and Materials and Food Technology. The study programme is fully financed by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports.
Admissions quotas for those study programmes are 20 students (Chemical Technology and Materials) and 30 students (Food Technology). With introduction of the study programme Protection and Recycling of Materials, the existing professional study programme would be terminated; therefore the introduction of the new programme would not require any additional funds.

1.6. Comparability of the study programme with other accredited programmes in higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia and EU countries

The professional study programme is to a certain extent comparable with the study programmes of distinguished European higher education institutions and institutions of higher education in neighbouring countries, such as:
- Politecnico di Torino, Italy (https://didattica.polito.it/pls/portal30/gap.a_mds.init),
- Politecnico di Milano, Italy ( (http://www.polinternational.polimi.it/index.php?id=197 &uid=314&k_cf=31&k_corso_la=347&aa=2011)
- University of Maribor, Slovenia (http://www.fkkt.uni-lj.si/en/?2286),
- University of Pardubice, Czech Republic (http://www.upce.cz/en/fcht/uechi.html),
- Politechnika Warszawska, Poland (http://www.ichip.pw.edu.pl/)

1.7. Openness of the study programme to student mobility (horizontal, vertical in the Republic of Croatia, and international)

The proposed professional study programme and its comparability with similar study programmes in the Republic of Croatia and EU countries enable student mobility, as well as faculty/staff mobility. Mobility shall be realized through attendance of individual courses from other professional study programmes, or attendance of entire semester at the related study programme and through completion of the final thesis. Students will have the option to enrol a specific number of courses in other fields of study. The study programmes included in the mobility scheme are offered by the constituents of the University of Split, other Croatian universities and colleges, i.e. specific higher education institutions in the European Union.

1.8. Compatibility of the study programme with the University mission and the strategy of the proposer, as well as with the strategy statement of the

3.4. Optimal number of students

The proposed admission quota for the undergraduate study programme Protection and Recycling of Materials is 30 students. In accordance with the expressed interest and the needs of the community, the Faculty Council may change the admission quota.

3.5. Estimate of costs per student

The planned source of financing for the professional study programme Protection and Recycling of Materials is the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. The Faculty of Chemistry and Technology currently offers professional study programme in Chemical Technology with two major fields of study: Chemical Technology and Materials and Food Technology. The study programme is fully financed by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports.
Admissions quotas for those study programmes are 20 students (Chemical Technology and Materials) and 30 students (Food Technology). With introduction of the study programme Protection and Recycling of Materials, the existing professional study programme would be terminated; therefore the introduction of the new programme would not require any additional funds.

Documentation on which the quality assurance system of the constituent part of the University is based:

- Regulations on the quality assurance system of the constituent part (enclose if existing)
- Handbook on the quality assurance system of the constituent part (enclose if it exists)

Description of procedures for evaluation of the quality of study programme implementation

  • Fore each procedure the method needs to be described (most often questionnaires for students or teachers, and self-evaluation questionnaire), name the body conducting evaluation (constituent part, university office), method of processing results and making information available, and timeframe for carrying out evaluation
  • If procedure is described in an attached document, name the document and the article.
