Graduate profile

Description
The study program Waste processing and recycling belongs to the field of study Extraction and Processing of Earth Resources and provides a comprehensive set of knowledge from natural science disciplines and skills in the field of theoretical and practical aspects of the basic processes of industrial metal production, processing of raw materials, origin and generation of waste and methods of waste treatment. The study program also includes education in the field of properties and classification of waste, sampling, principles of chemical analysis and basic analytical methods of characterization of raw materials and waste, the purpose and principle of monitoring environmental components. The study program prepares students for the use of waste management information systems, environmental legislation and application software in the analysis of the environmental impacts of production and industrial activities, the principles of remediation and elimination of environmental pollution and its components in the design of appropriate methods of waste management, including recovery and disposal of waste. The study program aims to provide knowledge about methods of environmental protection and recycling in accordance with the principles of the circular and low-carbon economy and the use of technologies that save raw materials, the environment and increase the quality of life.
Learning objectives
The graduate will demonstrate cross-sectional knowledge in the field of raw material sources, characterization, classification, treatment and processing of primary and secondary raw materials and basic waste recycling technologies. The graduate has theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of selected chemical disciplines and understands the physical and physico-chemical principles of the processes of production and processing of raw materials and standard analytical methods for the characterization of raw materials. He knows environmental legislation, global environmental problems and understands the relationships between environmental components and can identify the basic effects of industrial production on the environment. The graduate knows how to acquire, interpret and appropriately use and apply information in the given study program and field when solving tasks and projects in the field of methods of handling raw materials and waste of various types and properties. He has competences in solving theoretical and practical problems and environmental issues in the field of treatment, loading, processing of raw materials and sampling, waste recycling and elimination of environmental pollution. He has the competence to identify and evaluate ethical, social and other contexts in the framework of waste management and solving environmental problems and to communicate the obtained information, principles and solutions to the professional and lay public. The graduate is capable of further independent education in the given field and related fields and programs.

Evaluation of the study programme quality by employers
The results of a questionnaire survey of employers (8 companies participated) who took part in the evaluation survey of the study program "Waste processing and recycling" show that: • 87.5% of employers evaluate the focus of the study program "Waste processing and recycling" as satisfactory or rather satisfactory for practice, • 100% of employers perceive the content and content of the study program as satisfactory or rather satisfactory for practice, • 100% of employers consider the study program important for practice, • 100% of employers, based on their own experience, expressed the claim that graduates of the study program have a practical application and are a perspective for the company, • 75% of employers unequivocally state that graduates of the study program can also find employment in other industries related to the recycling industry. The remaining 25% of employers confirm rather than deny this statement. According to the additional statements of the voting employers on the question of which topics and areas they would welcome as part of the "Waste Processing and Recycling" study program for its improvement and expansion also from the point of view of their needs, the proposed comments are primarily aimed at expanding the content and expertise in the field of processing and recycling of hazardous waste, the legislative and administrative framework of companies with a focus on waste processing and recycling, as well as supplementing the content of study subjects with a focus on energy recovery and valorization of waste and on economic calculations related to the given area.
