Course detail
Process and Power Engineering and Legislation
FSI-KELAcad. year: 2023/2024
Planning and design of process and power systems require knowledge of both current and upcoming legislative limitations. In the course, students will get acquainted with essential parts of legislation related to design, construction and operation of process and power engineering units and industrial plants. They will learn about regulations for environmental protection, the use of natural resources and proces safety. A part of the course is also devoted to legal liability, protection of intellectual property and final products compliance with legislation.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
SEMINARS: Regular and active attendance is obligatory. A minimum number of 20 points from course assignments and the final presentation must be reached.
EXAM: The exam is both written and oral. It must be passed successfully, i.e. a minimum number of 30 points must be reached.
FINAL GRADE: The final grade is based on the sum of points obtained from the course assignments and the exam part. The course evaluation follows a standard procedure (less than 50 points - F, [50,60) points - E, [60,70) points - D, [70,80) points - C, [80,90) points - B, 90 points and more - A).
Participation in the seminar is regularly checked. In justified cases, an absence at a seminar may be substituted by an individual project (in the form of practical case study).
Aims
- To become able to apply gained knowledge to a set of typical process units and industrial plants.
Students will learn essential parts of legislation related to design and operation of process units. They will learn to apply gained knowledge of regulations in engineering practice. Students will be able to evaluate proces parameters with respect to related legislation.
