Aims
This course aims to elevate awareness of necessity and need to wisely treat wastes – their production and minimization incorporated in design, and their maximal utilization if produced.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The compulsory attendance of the students is meant only for seminars and excursions, where the attendance is kept. In justified cases a compensatory form of teaching can be conducted by individual project.
