    The goalEngineering calculations of thermodynamic and kinetic reaction parameters of metallurgical processes, introduction with experimental techniques and independent research, as well as with the basic mechanisms of processes in the metallurgical industry with the ability of applying in a variety of technological schemes of producing, refining and recycling of metals.
    The outcomeStudents can independently perform engineering calculations, the use of computer programs for thermodynamic and energy-balance calculations. Introduction to independent work in the laboratory. engineering knowledge necessary for the further educational and experimental activities in extractive metallurgy and metal recycling.
