Institute of Process Engineering

The course connects, links, and puts into practical context the knowledges acquired in most subjects of the previous bachelor's study, especially knowledge of Physics, Fundamentals of Design, Thermomechanics, Mathematics and Computer Science.

Course-unit credit requirements:
Active participation in seminars and a successful completion of a verification test of knowledge of the subject matter during the semester.

Exam:
Students are evaluated in two phases:
- Written tests. Upon receiving grade E or better from the test, a student proceeds to an oral exam.
- Oral exam: Students demonstrate their knowledge by proving to understand the subject, not by mere memorization (explanation of principles using presentations from lectures).

The course consists of lectures presented with a suitable means of presentation (ppt) and seminars. Students receive the coursework in electronic form.
Attendance at lectures is recommended. Attendance at seminars is compulsory and checked.

The aim is to explain the interdisciplinary nature of process engineering, which connects individual narrow specializations. On the example of a gradual solution of a specific industrial process, the student is gradually introduced to the solution concept generally valid for solving the problem of industrial plant at various levels – from conceptual design, comprehensive evaluation in terms of energy, environment and economy to solving unit operations by appropriate apparatuses or equipment from which the process comprises and structural details of individual equipment. Lessons learned and the way of thinking are applicable in many other specializations.

The course shows how in a wide range of industrial enterprises use and how they are connected knowledge of many subjects of general mechanical engineering studies. Students are familiar with how these specializations complement each other and what solution tools are used at different stages of the design and operation of industrial processes. Students will gain experience and an overview of practical engineering approaches, methods, measures and activities that the process engineer applies in the design and implementation of industrial production processes.
