Goals and competencies
The goal of this subject is to give students knowledge about the basic properties of materials, natural and artificial. The properties of dangerous substances will be presented more in details. Students in the frame of this subject also get technical knowledge about the manufacturing of different products. Next goal is the knowledge about packaging, manipulation during the transportation of goods in order to mantain the quality of goods. Special attention will be devoted to the transport of dangerous goods. Students will have knowledge about the specificity of the transport of different goods, with an emphasis on the transport of dangerous goods. Student will be able to use this knowledge for planning and execution of transportation, as well as solving with transportation connected problems.
