Course Objective

The aims of the course are:
- to examine the production of non-ferrous metals with taking into account realistic constraints (environment, economy, sustainability, etc.) using primary and secondary raw materials;
- to convey the fundamentals of thermodynamic and kinetic of the production processes;
- to give various examples of the properties, application areas, and alloy development processes of non-ferrous metal alloys.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To have the ability to use mathematics, physics, chemistry, and basic engineering knowledge in solving problems encountered during the production of non-ferrous metals.
2   To have the ability to design a system, process, device, or product related to the production of non-ferrous metals for a defined purpose, to define the processes required for production, and to use up-to-date design methods, taking into account realistic constraints and conditions.
3   To have the ability to know and apply processes and technologies related to the production, processing, protection, and recovery of non-ferrous metals
4   Ability to recognize, select and use modern methods and tools necessary for the analysis and solution of problems encountered in the field of production of non-ferrous metals; have the ability to use information technologies effectively
