Hours of instruction:

Weekly: three hours of lectures + three hours of labwork (3+0+3)

Goals:

Students should learn the fundamentals of the application of chemistry in industry. The syllabus includes the most important industrial processes, particularly the ones which are used in Serbia.

Outcome:

After successfully completing this course, students have a solid foundation for working in production processes and in laboratories of some factories.

Teaching methods:

Lectures, progress tests, experimental exercises, a professional internship (it has to be done before the final paper), educational field trip (not compulsory).

Extracurricular activities:

Educational field trip, a month-long professional internship, revising for the progress test and studying for the exam.
