Learning outcome

Knowledge. After completing the course, the candidate has:

  • knowledge of machine dynamics and mechanisms
  • knowledge of hydraulic power transmission.
  • basic knowledge of analytical and numerical solution methods for dynamic problems

Skills. After completing the course, the candidate can:

  • design simple mechanical and hydraulic energy systems
  • apply knowledge to theoretical and practical problems and know how to simplify.
  • use both analytical, numerical and graphical solution methods, either manually or using digital tools.

General competence.

The candidate has developed skills in how to simplify a dynamic problem and can apply this to modeling and analysis of existing or new products. The candidate can discuss theories, problems and solutions in writing or orally, and can exchange views and experiences with other professionals within their own and across disciplines. The candidate knows English terminology and can carry out literature search.
