Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to acquire and deepen practical knowledge and skills in the field of analysis of samples of water, silicate materials, metals, alloys, soils and biological materials. At the end of the course, students should be able to: - understand the analysis of samples of water, silicate materials, metals, alloys, soils and biological materials - connect theoretical knowledge and acquired practical experiences - experiment and develop procedures - combine various practical methods - evaluate practical possibilities for decomposition of samples
Learning outcomes
The student is able to: - utilize acquired practical experiences and skills in practice by analysis of real samples of water, silicate materials, metals, alloys, soils and biological materials - combine various practical methods - consider the use of suitable method for treatment of samples.
