Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course enables students to acquire knowledge necessary for solving problems connected with movements within instruments and devices of precise mechanics with respect to kinematic and dynamic parameters of the system.
Prerequisites
Students are expected to have knowledge and skills necessary for solving problems connected with movements within instruments and devices of precise mechanics with respect to kinematic and dynamic parameters of the system.
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
1. Evaluation of student’s knowledge consists of the following parts:
Final exam ……… 0 to 50 points.
