Objectives
The course will familiarize students with the most common research techniques and methods in the area of chemical and physical unit operations in water engineering. Special attention is given to those research topics which are studied at TUT. During the course the student will start the planning process of his/her M.Sc -thesis: how to select literature, materials and methods. The student will write a (hypothetical) research plan for the experimental part of his/her thesis.
