The objective of study at the faculty is to prepare future engineersfor individual decision making and creative engineering work in industrialcompanies, business and other organizations, for research activities andscientific work. Stress is laid on developing engineering thought processes,individual work, fast orientation in professional problems, solving chemicaland technological problems, and carrying out research projects. Extensivelaboratory training ensures that students obtain advanced experimentalskills and experience during their studies. Work with computers forms anintegral part of all study programs, students learn to utilize both userand special engineering software. Study programs at the faculty are dividedinto basic study and specialization study.
Students then proceed to specialized studyprograms .
Two basic lines of specialization are offered, in chemistryand technology of materials and, in chemistry and chemical technology. Study programs include not only technological subjects but also theoreticalsubjects. For this purpose, specialized study programs consist of six studybranches which students select in their 3rd year. Together with their specialized studies, students can also obtain a teaching qualification in supplementarycourses during the 3rd and 4th year, so that they are able to teach chemistryat grammar schools and at other secondary schools. Students can selecta number of subjects outside the basic study plan of their specialization,according to their own interest and to improve their future professionalprofile.
