Planned learning activities and teaching methods |
The taught part of course is delivered to the students by means oflectures, conducted with the help of computer presentations. Lecture notes andpresentations are available through the web for students to use in combinationwith the textbooks. Lectures are supplemented with laboratory work carried out in theMechanical Engineering Lab. Laboratory sessions are designed such that thestudents would appreciate the theory presented in the lectures and,furthermore, practical applications of the results are demonstrated. Students are assessed continuously and theirknowledge is checked through tests with their assessment weight. | ||||||||||
