The course provides the fundamentals of Food Science and Technology. It covers food as a composite material (composition, structure and properties), food chemistry and microbiology, quality and safety. It, also, covers the basic preservation processes, in particular cooling, freezing and thermal processing. Additionally, food packaging materials and functionality in food products are studied. Units included: Introduction. Food Chemistry. Introduction to food microbiology. Principles of kinetics in chemical and biological actions in food. Quality assurance. Food Preservation Process Design (Cooling, Freezing, Thermal Processes). Food packaging.

The course aims to scientifically examine the quality and pollution of the environment, as well as the global extent of environmental disturbances from predominantly anthropogenic causes, to approach and address environmental problems, and to become familiar with the available technological options for waste/resource management, developing the optimal solution and promoting integrated development. Units Included: Introduction to Environmental Science. Atmospheric and Air Pollution. Water Environment and Water Pollution. Liquid waste and environmental pollution. Soil and soil degradation. Solid waste and environmental pollution.

The aim of the course is to introduce students to Polymer Science and Technology and to present the basic principles that govern the production and processing of polymeric materials. Accordingly, the students acquire knowledge about polymerization processes and their quantitative description, being able to correlate polymerization conditions with resulting properties. Critical physicochemical properties of polymers in solid state and in melt are further discussed, with the aim to construct structure-properties relationships. Finally, there is an overview of the basic polymer processing/molding techniques that lead to the production of shaped plastic articles. Units included: Polymerization processes. Polymer Structure and Thermal Transitions. Mechanical properties. Polymer melts. Basic polymer processing techniques.

The aim of this course is to help engineers understand the role, functions, management and decision-making processes, as well as the determining factors of a companys performance. The course describes the basic concepts of the overall functioning of the financial environment, and then analyzes the role and form of modern businesses. In the next unit, it focuses on the intra-business and explores its core functions, such as product development, sales, technology and innovation management, human resources management, financial management, etc. Finally, in the third unit of the course, methods of costing and pricing, as well as basic investment valuation tools and techniques (NPV, IRR, etc.) are analyzed to form an integrated view of how decisions are made and a business strategy is formulated.

The aim of the course is: To show students the complex nature of modern developmental, technological environmental problems, and to familiarize them with the need for multidisciplinary and integrated approach, research and treatment. Bring students in touch with the real dilemmas they will face after their graduation, many of which are not solely located in the technological field. Provide the theoretical background for analyzing these problems. To provide a learning environment where the student will not only attend presentations, but will also try to get a well-documented position. Units included: theoretical background and tools related to sustainable development and critical thinking, environmental and development policies, management and technological tools. The role of an Engineer in the confrontation between environment and development. Areas of interest that are analyzed: global climate change, lignite gas and alternative energy - technological and environmental approaches, environment as an economic activity - a second life for former industrial sites, waste management - waste recycling, the role of justice and environmental development, sustainable mobility.

The aim of the course is to acquire basic knowledge about (a) the properties of atomic nuclei, the nuclear modifications and the chemical phenomena associated with them, (b) the technological applications of radionuclides, (c) the basic processes and techniques that are used in the nuclear industry/technology - from isotope separation methods to nuclear power reactors, and (d) nuclear fuel cycles to nuclear reactors, or radionuclides to the environment. The area of Nuclear Chemistry includes the study of the chemistry of natural and artificial radioactive elements, as well as the heavier elements (Z> 83, actinides, etc.), for which the decomposition of radioactive elements is an essential part of their properties. Nuclear Chemical Technology is primarily concerned with the study of chemical engineering processes and the treatment of chemical problems in the nuclear industry, which are dominated by chemical engineering processes that make the presence of a Chemical Engineer indispensable and crucial.

The course aims to the acquisition of analytical chemical thinking for solving problems that demand real-time chemical analysis in industrial production, environment application, occupational exposure, safety and life sciences. The course focuses on real time chemical analysis and it includes: introduction to real-time chemical analysis and key terms, simple chemical sensors and sophisticated chemical analyzers in real-time chemical analysis, real-time monitoring of physical and chemical processes in industry, field chemical analysis and wireless communications, calibration and maintenance of chemical analysers, specifications and purchasing of chemical analysers, software of analyzers, basics in chemometrics for advanced data processing. The course also includes lectures by invited experts in industrial real-time chemical analysis, field chemical analysis, communications and analytical instrumentation. The course provides job training in the related subjects and enhances team working

The course aims to familiarize the Chemical Engineer with the background knowledge and methodology for answering the key questions: ""what product should be manufactured"" and ""how will it be manufactured"", in order to present the best economic and technical characteristics and meet the current environmental requirements and specifications. The course content provides information and knowledge on: Needs: Identifying consumer or customer needs and converting them into measurable product features with relevant specifications.
