Learning Outcomes

After completing the course the student is able to classify the most common printing and direct writing methods, explain the basic differences between these methods and compare the applicability of the methods based on their properties. After completing the course the student is able to describe the most important ink properties related to the printing method. The student is able to name the most common materials used in printed electronics and name their classification principles. After completing the course the student is also able to list the most applications for printed electronics and construct a simple printed electronics structure. The student also knows how to conduct correctly in the laboratory and how to handle chemicals according to their regulations.
