Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Knowledge and comprehension of properties and utilizationation of minerals and rocks. Recognize and describe minerals rock textures and structures. Students should learn: Collect fundamentals of research of rocks and minerals. Describe, clarify and interpret processes of material cycle. Apply analytical methods to describe minerals and rocks. Ilustrate knowledge in examples of utilization of rock. The objective is knowledge of silicates physical a chemical properties, as the most important mineral class and comprehension of its attachment on industrial applications. Significant objective is competence to synthesis theoretical informations and its application in processes of silicate technologies. Students should learn analysed the problem, combined theoretical knowledges with its practical utilisation, sumarised obtained knowledges, interpreted findings from the solutions practical problems point of view, generalised created conclusions.

Summary
The purpose of the object is to illustrate the nature of the theory of technical petrography and silicate technology, in terms of the acts of high-temperature chemical and phase equilibrium. Theoretical knowledge is then an essential basis for understanding the processes taking place in the technology of glass, ceramics and inorganic binders. Attention is paid to minerals used in the production of silicate-based materials.
