Course abstract

The course consist of two parts: Machine elements and lifting and transport machines. Course include theory of machine parts and components, calculations and designe. It provides engineering knowledge for creative designing work.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Knowledge - get knowledges about driving mechanism efficiency, gear ratio, power, torque and rotation frequency calculation. Familiar with different type of transmission, coupling, type of transport machine and its main parts - defense of laboratory work, practical work, tests, exam.
2. Skills – knows to calculate, choice and designe of transmission, shafts, bearings, coupling, screw and spline - homework, tests, exam.
3. Competences – ability to apply professional knowledge and skills for machine elements, lifting transport machine parts and component calculation, choice and designing - homework, tests.

Requirements for awarding credit points

Must be developed and defended 6 laboratory works and 2 home works: calculations of transport vehicles and energy-cinematic shaft, and successfully passed the tests.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

1. The tasks set in the practical work and the laboratory work must be completed independently, in accordance with the conditions. Learn unclear questions from the literature. Presentation of the work takes place after its completion;
2. Homework’s completion.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The exam is admitted after successful completion of tests, defense of homework and laboratory work. In the exam, students in writing solves individual tasks and answer theoretical questions. Laboratory works, homework and test work are evaluated in accordance with the assessment procedure specified in the work and at least 60% of the working conditions are fulfilled. A student receives a successful mark on the exam if at least 60% of the tasks are properly resolved.
