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

Student knows the basic analysis types of machines and structures and the role of the principle of virtual work in the analyses, is able to determine the vibration properties of beam structures, to find the critical load for buckling of a beam structure, to model a non-linear bar structure, and perform thermo-mechanical analyses of bar and thin-slab structures.
