Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic principles of scientific work, both theoretical and based on experimental research. Students must be able to apply and combine theoretical knowledge with outputs obtained from practice and applied research. Students are able to summarize the acquired knowledge and interpret the knowledge in terms of solving practical problems.
