Entry knowledge

Successful completion of the course is conditional on the knowledge of technical mechanics, physics, higher mathematics, machine parts and their mechanisms, physics of materials and principles of electrical engineering.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the exercises and worked out calculating tasks. Examination tests student’s knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them in practice.
Attendance at exercises is obligatory and checked by the teacher. Absence may be in justified cases compensated for by the agreement with the course supervisor.

Aims

The objective is for students to have an overview of machines and equipment in technological processes in civil engineering. Students will be provided with a basis for selection of machines and for designing of technological sequences, for projects of industrial plants. The course enables students to understand the function, construction, and fundamental calculations of machines in the technological processes in civil engineering, and makes them familiar with producers and design for technological complexes.
