| Course abstract | |
| The study course looks at the design of forest machines and the principles of operating the main mechanisms. The knowledge acquired makes it possible to understand the principles of force and capacity transfer in mechanisms and to calculate their characteristics. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| After the course, the student will have:
• knowledge of the design and operational principles of machinery for logging,(test) • skills to carry out visual and technical assessments of forestry techniques, aggregating capabilities,(laboratory work) • competence - provide responsible advice to forest workers on the feasibility of logging machines in the specific development of felling areas.(test) |
