KNOWING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF A PROCESS FOR OBTAINING NANOMATERIALS AND THE REALIZATION OF A DEVICE BASED ON THEM.

MAKING JUDGMENTS - ENGINEERING PRACTICE
OPTIMIZATION OF A PROCESS FOR OBTAINING NANOMATERIALS RESPECTING THE CURRENT LEGISLATION FOR SAFETY.

TRANSVERSAL SKILLS - COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
KNOWING HOW TO WORK IN GROUPS AND PRESENT ORALLY A TOPIC RELATED TO NANOTECH PROCESSES.

TRANSVERSAL SKILLS - ABILITY TO LEARN:
KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE SKILLS ACQUIRED IN PROCESSES ALSO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE. ABILITY TO ACQUIRE NEW CONCEPTS AND REGULATIONS, TO INTERFACE SUCCESSFULLY WITH INDUSTRIAL OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS.
