Course objectives
The aim of this course is focused on introducing various types of industry methods and different types of polymers to all participants of this course. These knowledge can be used in self production of each participant.
Learning outcomes
The outputs of this course, which the participant will apply after graduation, can include: - ability to recognize thermoplastic and thermoset, to be able to orientate in basic properties necessary for practical work with them - ability to orientate in commonly available commercial products of specialized shops - describe and apply individual processing methods (cutting, sawing, bending, casting, vacuuming, etc.) on a specific type of polymer - to implement own projects according to studied materials -
