Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Students can develop study work on the following topics:
1. Structural analysis and technical calculations of wood processing machine manufactured in Latvia.
2. Developing a principled project for a new workshop for the performance of a specific technological operation.
3. Mechanisation of operations by working with a series-produced wood processing machine.
4. Reconstructions of a series-produced workmachine.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

Study work assessment consists of working compliance with task (70%) and answers to questions, working defensively (30%).
