Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The course aim is that student will be well versed throughout the technological flow of production of ceramic materials, and not only in technology, but primarily in terms of mechanical. It means, that student will understand the principles of equipment used in current ceramic factories, starting from extraction and processing of raw materials to the final shaping. On this basis, the student will be able to select individually an equipment (machines) for each technology, types of ceramic materials, the properties of the final products, etc.
