Graduate profile

Description
The graduate of the bachelor's study program Environmental protection and raw material ecotechnology has general knowledge in the field of technical and natural science disciplines, in the application of environmental, economic, legislative, and social knowledge. He understands the basic principles of technologies for the treatment and processing of primary and secondary raw materials. He knows how to correctly interpret these technologies (developed and applied in the treatment of primary raw materials) and can apply them as environmental technologies, e.g. in the treatment and purification of water and air and in the processing, or recycling of waste-secondary raw materials, which is constantly increasing. Graduates of the study program are able to work in organizations that deal with monitoring and evaluating the state of the environment, waste management, and environmental impact assessment. A possible application is in the state and private sphere - in state administration, local self-government, related to the environment, in industrial enterprises whose activity is related to the processing of raw materials, and in various environmental organizations. Graduates also find employment in areas related to the recycling of industrial and municipal waste components and the separation of finely dispersed particles captured by eco-technologies for air protection and water protection.
Learning objectives
The acquired knowledge from natural science and technical disciplines will enable students to be profiled for the quantification, analysis, and search for solutions to possible negative environmental problems in the technological processing of raw materials. Knowledge of environmental aspects and impacts can be applied in the management of environmental processes by taking into account all components of the environment. Part of the professional profiling of graduates is the ability to solve the environmental impacts of mining and treatment of raw materials, and environmental monitoring. Considerable attention is paid to the legislative area, as this knowledge is absolutely necessary when designing and developing plans for the extraction, treatment, and processing of raw materials. The issue of environmental protection and sustainable development is related to the above. The graduate will acquire knowledge of testing procedures, certifications, and used quality systems in the area of ​​treatment and processing of raw materials. FBERG TUKE respects the diversity of students by allowing the student to choose the topics of semester assignments and projects, as well as the topic of the final thesis, the option of choosing mandatory elective subjects, by choosing the place of implementation of the internship, creating solution teams when processing projects and assignments, while students themselves create a function in the solving team. FBERG TUKE creates a closer link between the study program and the demands of the labor market by defining educational outcomes, which enables students to make informed choices. Compulsory optional subjects are equivalent subjects and profile the knowledge and competencies of a graduate of the bachelor's study program Environmental protection and eco-technology of raw materials. Graduates of the study program find employment in organizations that deal with monitoring and evaluating the state of the environment, waste management, and environmental impact assessment. A possible application is in the state and private sphere - in state administration, local self-government, related to the environment, in industrial enterprises whose activity is related to the processing of raw materials, and in various environmental organizations. Graduates also find employment in areas related to the recycling of industrial and municipal waste components and the separation of finely dispersed particles captured by eco-technologies for air protection and water protection.
Main learning outcomes
The graduate of the bachelor's study program environmental protection and raw material ecotechnology is able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding in the study program of environmental protection and raw material eco-technology, which follow on from their general secondary education and are typically at the level of advanced textbooks supplemented with selected aspects of the latest knowledge from the field of obtaining and processing earth resources, in the study program of life protection environment and eco-technology of raw materials. 2. Can use his knowledge and skills in the field of technical and natural science disciplines, from the application of environmental, economic, legislative, and social aspects, in the management of environmental processes taking into account all components of the environment (especially waste management, water purification and treatment, dust removal and air purification ) and their understanding in a way that indicates a professional approach to work and to the profession. He has competencies usually demonstrated by presenting and defending arguments, solving problems, and specific tasks related to environmental aspects, in the field of study of the study program environmental protection and eco-technology of raw materials. 3. Has the ability to acquire and interpret relevant data and facts in the field of study in the study program environmental protection and eco-technology of raw materials and based on them to make ethically and socially responsible decisions. 4. Can communicate and present information, concepts, principles, problems, and solutions to professional and lay audiences. 5. Has the developed educational skills necessary to continue further studies with a high degree of independence.

Spatial, material, and technical provision of the study programme and support

List and characteristics of the study programme classrooms
The following laboratories and a semi-operational hall are used to ensure the teaching process: The semi-operational hall – is equipped with functional devices for treatment (e.g. crushing, grinding) and separation (magnetic, gravity separation, flotation, etc.) of minerals and waste as secondary raw materials. A physical laboratory that is equipped for several types of rock sample separations (prepares rock samples for the quantitative determination of selected elements on AAS, prepares rock samples for X-ray analysis and IR spectrometry, and prepares a complete silicate analysis). Chemical laboratory with accessories for classical chemical analysis (digestor, 2 dryers, muffle furnace, distillation apparatus, centrifuge, 3 digital analytical scales with accuracy to 2 and 4 tenths, etc.). The analytical laboratory is equipped with an atomic absorption spectrometer for chemical analysis of about 20 elements (fy Perkin-Elmer, USA). Surface characterization laboratory with instruments for measuring solid surfaces (wetting angle measuring instrument, polarizing microscope). Laboratory of surface chemical analysis - equipped with an XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectrometer) device for surface chemical analysis of particles.
Characteristics of the information provision
For the development of the study program, the departments of the Technical University of Košice (TUKE) use the rich library fund of the University Library (UK), the mission of which is the information security of scientific research and the pedagogical process at TUKE. The digital library of the UK (http://www.lib.tuke.sk) is also available to TUKE students and employees, which provides: lending services; consulting services; reference services; digital services; MVS and MKVS service; education and training for writing theses. Library services are concentrated in UK TUKE, which include all activities from searching in the library fund to searching for information in the online catalog and available databases (Springer Link, Science Direct, IEEExplore, etc.), to making specific documents available in print or electronic form in the UK fund (the total number of documents is 186966, of which 64228 books, 40046 textbooks, 7779 anthologies, 6341 bound periodicals, 7718 electronic documents, 31846 final and qualification theses). Students have access to the Internet on the school premises and in the dormitories via a WiFi connection, which allows them unrestricted access to library services. The MAIS academic information system http://mais.tuke.sk/ ensures the entry, processing and provision of information about the admissions process (submission of the application, results, overviews), about the study (subject information sheets, timetable, registration for exams, results of interim and final evaluations, submission of final theses, assessments for final theses, etc.).
