Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the student is able to:
- Describe technical fundamentals of hydraulic and pneumatic systems
- Describe general characteristics of different pressure mediums
- Analyze the behavior of pressure and flow in hydraulic and pneumatic systems
