Course abstract
The aim of the course is to get acquainted with the technologies of agricultural and animal husbandry works: regimes, energy and costs; to understand the technologies of conditioning and storage of crop products; to master machine constructions: agrotechnical requirements, technological parameters, technological and kinematic schemes; be able to understand the technical documentation and testing principles of machines. Practical students learn the application of agricultural and animal husbandry technologies and the principles of construction.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
Knowledge - about the application of agricultural machinery as a tool for the implementation of a complex process, orientation in the offer of agricultural machinery, technologies and applied machines and equipment. Knowledge is assessed in tests and laboratory work.
Skills - to evaluate the crop and livestock work to be performed, to choose the technological and technical solutions of the applied equipment. Skills are assessed in tests and laboratory work.
Competence - is able to competently apply the acquired knowledge and skills in solving the issues of crop and livestock mechanization, independently choose appropriate technologies and equipment for their implementation, as well as to manage work with appropriate equipment. Competences are assessed in laboratory work and tests.
