Course detail

Nanotechnology

FCH-MCO_NANAcad. year: 2020/2021

First, the students are introduced into nanotechnology within 3 lessons. Then, they choose an offered topic that can be found in another part “Osnova” and prepare presentation for 15 min. Finally, every student presents the chosen topic, answers all questions during a discussion with teacher and other students. The student discusses the topics presented by other students.
