    Thank you for the course!

    Topical (only 1 theme):


    Course is now graded
    (sorry for the delay!).
    • Your data should be in the "SISU system" now!
    • The limit between grades 4 and 5 was 94 points.
    • Quite high grade limit, but you were also able to get those "extra points" from Calculation Quiz.

    Thank you for attendance! It was also very nice to see you in tour lab!

    We have some more courses for you, if you were interested in the topic and our style.

    Autumn 2023:
    - MEC-E3004 Fluid Power Systems
    - MEC-E3005 Fluid Power Dynamics

    See you in the Circus!

    BW,

    Assignment 1

    Assignment materials are now available under Research Assignment 1. 

    - PowerPoint: instructions

    - Mathcad file: template

    Deadline is 13.2.2023

    Mathcad

    You can use 1. free version, 2. classroom version, or 3. classroom version remotely.

    Check page Calculation exercises

    Attention!

    Please, join ASAP a Research Group. Use Research Group selection under Assignments.

    Groups consist of about 4 members. These teams participate in 2 Calculation assignments and, laboratory assignments, and 1 laboratory visit.

    The first calculation assignment will be released on Friday (20.1.2022) during Calculation exercise.

    We will use Mathcad (version Prime 8.0.0.0) in calculation assignments for Groups and during calculation exercises. However, there are no computers in classroom on Friday. You can use your own laptops or participate in TEAMS.

    We will contiue this week on Thursday and on Friday. (Check Schedule figure below)

    Classroom is 326 (Konetekniikka 1 = K1 building , Otakaari 4 (street)).
