Manufacturing and Design of Machines

Course developers

Course abstract

The aim of the course is to acquire basic engineering courses. Their studies develop engineering thinking, prepare doctoral students for creative activity, and teach them to apply the acquired knowledge, look for new ideas and model them. Studying this course students acquire not only professional knowledge in the field of machine science but also improve the research skills and ability to solve complex problems in agricultural engineering.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Knowledge - students gain an in-depth knowledge of machine manufacturing and design principles, calculations and methods. Knowledge is assessed in the exam.
2. Skills - is able to creatively use the acquired theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of machine mechanics and drive design and production. Acquired skills are assessed in an exam.

3. Competence - able to model and solve tasks in mechanical engineering, using professional computer programs, to conduct and conduct independent research. Acquired competencies are assessed in an exam.
