The project represents individual student work to solve control of laboratory processes in chemical and biochemical technologies. The teamwork develops a student’s skills and experiences necessary to solve the complex controller design task. Student combined knowledge from various subjects in engineering study. He studies a mathematical model of the selected laboratory process, designs and simulates its behaviour, and verifies it at the actual plant. In conclusion, student forms results, present them and defends them in the scientific discussion.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods:
Contact teaching:
• consultations 26 h
• laboratory practice on the project – 26 h
• presentation and defence of the project – 2h
Contactless teaching:
• preparation for particular tasks (study of literature, calculations) - 20 h

Assesment methods and criteria:
The final grade consists of an evaluation of the final presentation of the project results in front of a committee (40%) and final report (60%). The final grade is given by the Study rules of the STU. To obtain credits for the subject, the student has to reach at least 56% of the maximum number of points.
