The goal		The objective is to get the students familiar with the basics of calculation, construction and exploitation of the equipment in process industry, including the analysis of numerous design solutions and criteria for equipment selection depending on designed technological processes and operations.
The outcome		Through the planned teaching curriculum, calculation examples and completion of the project assignments, students gain knowledge about design solutions of the equipment in process industry. Through the analysis of the calculation, construction and exploitation phases, the students will become familiar with the examples from engineering practice.
