Oppimateriaali ja suositeltava kirjallisuus

Handouts, Shigley, Mechanical Engineering Design. McGraw-Hill 2003.

Teaching methods

Contact lessons consists of the theory of the course and also example calculation cases. There are also calculation exercises which means self learning and home work based work.

Exam schedules

There are three small exams during the course. There is also alternative way to replace the last small exam by exam which consists of the whole course. There are also two resits after that based on JAMK orders.

Student workload

Lectures 41 h.
Calculation exercises self-reliant work 40 h.
Total 81 h.

Content scheduling

There are theory based contact lessons during the whole course which are based on the topics of the course. There are also calculation examples during lessons. There are self learning calculation tasks which are based on theory lesson.
