Learning Outcomes
Students who will complete the course successfully, are expected to: - Design and conduct experiments with precision and reliability. - Handle and control the reliability of the measuring instruments. - Practice the analysis and interpretation of qualitative data by distributions and error determinations, through statistical methods of analysis of measurement and processing of measurement data. - Familiarize themselves with the techniques of balancing and techniques of measuring voltage, acceleration, temperature, heat flow, pressure and flow speed. - Apply the above to the cognitive areas of thermodynamics, fluid engineering and aerodynamics, oscillations, dynamic machines and machine tools by performing laboratory exercises accompanied by technical reports.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Work autonomously
