Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to master the principles and techniques of maintenance and diagnostics of electrical and electronic systems of agricultural and other machines. Skills and ability are acquired in the application of machine-based prophylactic technical maintenance system, in the planning, organization and creation of material and technical base of machine maintenance works.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge: about electric and electronic systems service, diagnosis and test methods and equipment for modern machines. Assessment - test.
Skills: choose the most appropriate diagnostic equipment and its use of machine fault detection. Assessment - test. Competence: acquired knowledge and skills can be available to arrive at a most convenient decision at each situation about strategy and tactics of technical service and diagnostic of machinery. The knowledge and skills acquired during the course are assessed by 2 tests and developed practical work and their reports.

Part-time extramural studies: All the topics intended for full-time studies are covered, yet the number of contact hours is ½ of the specified number of hours.

Requirements for awarding credit points

All practical works have been developed and passed. Successfully passed verification tests. Exam.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Studying lecture materials and additional literature, preparing for tests and practical works. Development and defended of practical work reports.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The tests are accepted if at least 4 are scored. The test evaluation criteria indicate a specific score for each correctly answered test question.
Practical works are accepted if practical works reports are developed and successfully defended. The examination test may be omitted if all the tests have been successfully completed during the semester and the practical work has been defended.
