Knowledge:
Have a comprehensive knowledge of the basic facts, trends and limits of the subject area of engineering. Knowledge of the general and specific mathematical, scientific and social principles, rules, contexts and procedures necessary for the operation of the field of engineering. Knowledge of the terminology, the most important relationships and theories relevant to the field. Knowledge of the measurement procedures, instruments, apparatus and measuring equipment used in mechanical engineering at an applied level. Knowledge of the requirements and standards of health and safety at work, fire protection, safety and health at work, and environmental protection in the field of engineering.
Ability to analyse at a basic level the disciplines making up the knowledge base of the technical field, to formulate synthetically the interrelationships and to carry out appropriate evaluative activities. Ability to apply the most important terminology, theories and procedures of the technical discipline in the performance of related tasks. Ability to identify routine technical problems and to identify, formulate and solve (using standard operations in practice) the theoretical and practical background required to solve them. Ability to construct basic models of technical systems and processes. Ability to apply and enforce safety, fire safety and hygiene rules and regulations. Ability to communicate in a professionally appropriate manner, orally and in writing, in accordance with the area of competence
Mid-term study requirements:
Students must be prepared for the laboratory exercises based on the published syllabuses and the first part of the measurement protocol (personal data, principle of measurement, etc.) must be prepared in advance. The measurement protocol must be submitted at the end of the class. The total score available for one protocol is 8 points. During the study period, students write 5-point short tests on two occasions. The short test can only be supplemented with a medical certificate. In the last class, the students write a 26-minute test based on the material of the measurements, for which a maximum of 26 points can be obtained. The test can only be replaced with a medical certificate. The grade is given in accordance with the table according to Exam Rules § 11 (2) from the total score at the end of the semester.
