Short Description
The Continuing Education and Training Course in Rubber Technology is open to participants with practical professional experience in branches of industry that produce, process and apply rubber and other rubber elastic materials. The programme, designed for students in employment, is part of the programme of supplementary courses offered at Leibniz Universität Hannover. The aim of the programme is to enable students to supplement their professional knowledge and to deepen their scientific expertise and experience by pursuing practice-oriented and problem-based courses.
Course Content
- Chemistry and technology of rubber
- Foundations of the chemistry and technology of rubber-like materials
- Principles of construction and the properties of elastomer products
- Processes and production technology in rubber processing
The executive continuing education and training course begins in winter semester (October) each year. The course, comprising eleven attendance stages (approx. 300 hours of lessons), includes lectures, demonstrations/practical training and field trips to well-known equipment and machinery manufacturers, rubber processing companies and raw material manufacturers. Courses are offered during attendance stages lasting four days each. Six attendance stages are held in the winter semester and the remaining five in the summer semester. In this way, four-day periods of intensive teaching alternate with three to four-week periods of work in which students continue to pursue their customary jobs.
