Master's programme Management in Polymer Technologies (MPT) 2018W |
| Objectives |
This master course aims to harmonize the different educational backgrounds of the international students in the master’s program “Management in Polymer Technologies (MPT)”. Basic engineering tasks are presented and used to repeat the essential, mainly mathematical and mechanical calculations required as fundamental knowledge of polymeric materials for other courses in this master’s program.
