Study aims
The aim of the study is the scientific education of experts who will be able to solve scientific research problems in the field of thermal engineering, energy, fuel chemistry, ceramic materials and waste utilization. The goal is achieved by leading to the systematic acquisition, deepening and application of current theoretical and practical knowledge in the field studied and the development of the creative talent of the personality of the researcher.
Graduate's knowledge
Students of the doctoral study program will acquire theoretical knowledge by studying appropriately selected subjects, whose offer covers the issues of thermal engineering and energy, industrial ceramics, fuel chemistry, environmental impact and also includes general subjects such as numerical mathematics and statistics. The doctoral student deepens special theoretical and professional knowledge related to the solved project by independent study of literature and consultations with teachers. The graduate becomes an expert with a broad interdisciplinary perspective, who understands theories and modern research methods in the field studied.
Graduate's skills
The graduate is able to formulate a problem, design and apply research methodology in order to expand knowledge in the field, increase the technical level of thermal and energy technologies and equipment, develop new types of fuels and materials for use especially at high temperatures and seek new ways to use waste and alternative energy sources. . Students are guided to develop creative thinking in the research process, starting with a theoretical analysis of the problem and ending with the design or innovation of laboratory procedures or production technologies and equipment. Graduates manage the implementation of laboratory and operational experiments, evaluation of measured data, learn to create and solve a mathematical formulation of the problem, create and use a physical or numerical model and verify it.
