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

Examination test student’s knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them in practice.
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 technologies in building industry, their development and sequences to design and exploitation machines.
Students will be made familiar with the technical and chemical procedures in building industries, and learn how to set the flow-sheets as a basis for development records.

Study aids
