T-MACH-102208 Introduction to Engineering Mechanics I: Statics and Strength of Materials 3

Competence Certificate

The assessment consists of a written examination taking place in the recess period (according to Section 4(2), 1 of the examination regulation). The examination takes place in every semester. Re-examinations are offered at eyery ordinary examination date.

Permitted utilities: non-programmable calculator, literature

Competence Goal

Professional competences:

Students will

  • know and understand the basic elements of statics;
  • be able to carry out simple static calculations on their own;
  • know the basic concepts of strength theory: stress, strain and their relationship within the framework of elementary elasticity theory;
  • know the most common strength hypotheses;
  • be able to calculate independently rods, shafts and beams;
  • know the classical cases of stability loss in compressed beams.

Interdisciplinary competences:

Students are familiar with analytical procedures and problem-oriented thinking. They are aware of the complexity of engineering problems and are able to identify and focus on the key issues within them. Students are able to use their acquired knowledge theoretical analysis of practically relevant engineering problems and to develop approaches to their solution.
