Characteristics

A graduate of the 3-rd degree of the study program "Environmental Engineering" masters the scientific methods of research and development of products and optimization of environmental quality, demonstrates the ability and readiness for independent creative and research activity in the field of environmental engineering. The graduate is able to abstract scientific problems while studying foreign professional literature, he/she is ready to shape trends and concepts for the development of the field of study with reference to methods of measuring and assessing environmental factors and product properties. The graduate is able to perform responsible professions as an independent creative designer, a development worker for optimizing product properties with regard to their impact on humans and the environment, as an independent creative worker for the design of measures eliminating negative impacts, who is able to generate new procedures and methods of measuring, monitoring, evaluating and objectifying environmental factors, also as a leader of interdisciplinary (mathematics, simulations, engineering, engineering, health) of work teams capable of working at an international level in technical research at universities, SAV and research laboratories. He/she can do scientific research and bring his/her own solutions to problems in the field of customer-oriented technical product quality and environmental quality and is able to creatively and systematically approach the solution of industrial practice problems (i.e. analyze, synthesize, deduce, induce individual elements of the system) and has the knowledge and prerequisites for work in the top management of organizations. He/she is able to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired through his/her studies in the field of process optimization, computer-supported technical means for simulation, data processing and transmission, and research and development in related fields of research, he/she masters modern mathematical and statistical methods, including computer simulations, and is able to use them creatively in his/her scientific work. He/she masters the scientific formulation of problem-solving, which he/she sees and understands in interdisciplinary contexts given by the technical, legal, economic, ethical and environmental aspects of the solved complex task.

Learning Objectives

The aim of the education is to provide the graduate of the Environmental Engineering study program with advanced knowledge in the field of product quality, their impact on people and the environment, but also methods of objectification, evaluation and assessment of the environment, with a focus primarily on the field of metrology, measurement, and the design of technical solutions. Graduate acquires the ability to clearly formulate a scientific problem, subject and goal of research and development in the field of environmental engineering and solve the formulated problem with an awareness of social, ethical, legal and economic contexts of scientific work. After successfully completing his doctoral studies in the Environmental Engineering study program, he is able to carry out scientific research in order to gain new knowledge, develop new types of solutions focused on the properties of products and the environment, and implement their transfer into practice. He masters the scientific methods of research and development. According to his profile, graduate focuses on the development of new methods of measurement, monitoring, objectification and assessment of products and the environment, including customer-oriented properties, but also in the field of environmental management, processing of studies, assessments and processes of environmental impact assessment and their management. Graduate can use means and technology for identification, modelling, simulation, he can apply scientific methods of data processing. Explores new principles and methods. Graduate of the third degree is a specialist in a specific field of study, a scientific and research worker. He is prepared for the independent solution of challenging tasks in the field of the study program.

Knowledge:
The graduate has a systematic, comprehensive and comprehensive set of knowledge in a specialized field, including knowledge and understanding of relationships with other parts of the field, and with related fields, he has deep knowledge of theories, sophisticated methods and procedures of science and research at a level corresponding to international criteria.

Skills :
The graduate can acquire new knowledge and information in an active way, critically analyse and re-evaluate them and use them in theory and practical applications, he can apply and creatively improve and develop theories and research, development and innovation procedures in the field. He can create new procedures, with the integration of knowledge from various fields can identify global scientific and innovative developments in the field and in related fields and can use it in the direction and development of the field.

Competences:
The graduate is able to plan and initiate the solution of complex problems/projects, including the formulation of goals, means and methods in the given field, he is able to assess and modify his own professional activity in a wider context, in relation to the long-term impact in the given field, also from the point of view of environmental, technical, economic, social, ethical and other criteria. Graduate is ready to formulate qualified outputs and conclusions of scientific, research and development work at the international level and to manage large-scale research tasks and teams.

Based on the above, the knowledge, skills and competences of the graduates correspond to the relevant level of the qualification framework in the European Higher Education Area.
