Course detail
Machine Design - Mechanisms
FSI-6KM-KAcad. year: 2010/2011
The course is focused on mechanisms used in machines and equipments. Especially mechanical, hydraulical, pneumatic mechanisms are solved and and also their combinations and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are discussed.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
-written solution of semestral project (maximal number of points is 60, minimal number of points necessary for course-unit credit is 30).
-test is carried out on electronic testing system. Test with possibility of answers selection is based on lectures topics (maximal number of points obtained from test is 40. Minimal number of points for passing the test is 20).
Total number of points is sum of points obtained from semestral project and points obtained from test. Minimal number of points is 50 and maximal number of points is 100.
