Learning outcomes of the course unit
Knowledge of basic tasks in the design of space technology.
Prerequisites
The basic knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, structure and strength.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit requirements: participation in the course (80% at the minimum), all elaborated assignments must be hand in on time. The exam is of oral form, three lot-drawn questions and if necessary, the lecturer asks one additional question.
Aims
The objective of course is to introduce the students with the fundamentals of space technology, especially in view of the structure.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Lectures and seminars are compulsory, and the attendance (80% at the minimum) is checked and recorded. The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer.
