• demonstrate understanding of their own professional and ethical responsibility,
• demonstrate understanding of the meaning of entrepreneurship,
• demonstrate knowledge of the practical applications of process and product engineering (through projects),
• pursue autonomous learning and recognise the need for lifelong learning.

(subject-specific competences)

• demonstrate knowledge of relevant basic disciplines and their genesis (particularly mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, physics) in order to understand, describe and address phenomena in technical chemistry and chemical technology:
• demonstrate understanding of the basis of chemical terminology, nomenclature and the use of units,
• demonstrate knowledge of basic types of chemical reactions and their basic characteristics,
• demonstrate knowledge of the bases and procedures of chemical analysis and the characterisation of compounds,
• demonstrate knowledge of the characteristics of various aggregate states and the theories that describes them,
• demonstrate knowledge of the basics of thermodynamics and their application in chemistry,
• demonstrate knowledge of the basics of the kinetics of chemical change, including catalysis,
• demonstrate knowledge of the classification of elements and their compounds, including the periodic system,
• demonstrate knowledge of the most important properties of aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic and organometallic compounds and the nature and properties of functional groups in organic molecules,
• demonstrate knowledge of the main synthesis pathways in organic and inorganic chemistry,
• demonstrate knowledge of the chemistry of biological molecules and processes.
• demonstrate understanding of the general structure of chemical engineering and the connections between its sub-disciplines,
• demonstrate understanding of basic principles in chemical engineering:
• matter and energy balances, motion quantity balances, cost balances,
• equilibrium,
• flow processes (chemical reaction, matter transfer, energies and motion quantities) – and use them to resolve various chemical engineering problems (analytically, numerically and graphically),
• basic operations,
• observe and measure chemical properties and changes and systematically and reliably control, record and process data in chemistry and chemical technology,
• use acquired knowledge to address qualitative and quantitative tasks in the field of chemical technology,
• demonstrate understanding of the basic concept of the regulation of processes,
• demonstrate knowledge of and use modern methods of process and product measurement,
• recognise and complement good laboratory practice, carry out standard laboratory procedures including the use of instruments in synthesis and analytical procedures, and communicate and interpret laboratory results,
• demonstrate basic understanding of the issues of safety, health and the environment and the safe handling of chemicals with regard to their physical and chemical properties, and the capacity to carry out a risk assessment regarding the chemicals and procedures used,
• demonstrate understanding of the concept of sustainable development.
