Profile of the Branch
Graduates try to obtain basic theoretical and practical knowledge in the areas of transport machinery and material handling, conveyor belts and lifting equipment, especially cranes. In the framework of the study branch the students themselves develop knowledge further from the design, operation and maintenance of transport machinery and handling equipment, used in industrial plants and in other branch activities. They are made acquainted with the use of computers, computer graphics and diagnostic methods in the operation of machines and in the repair business. Branch graduates get to know basic engineering subjects, and by studying branch subjects they gain practical and theoretical specialized knowledge about transport and lifting machines and handling equipment. Bachelor study graduates can find employment in managing the operation of transport and handling systems in industrial plants, the construction industry, agriculture and similar areas. They can occupy mid-technical positions in repair service companies, in maintenance operation companies, in management positions, in construction and development offices.
Key Learning Outcomes
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies
Knowledge:
Graduate exercise most often like designer, leadership construction and slide rule boy, but either as personnel handling assembly, running, upkeep, renewal, metering and diagnostics these arrangement. Very much knowledge have the graduate from articles mechanics, parts machine, construction traffic machine, flexibility and strongholds, graphic articles (CAD etc.) and computer programme, to were able to constructs traffic and handling device. In terms of construction is laying emphasis on calculation parameter arrangement, functional technical and dispositional schematics, technical description (functional description) and economic estimation. Graduate bachelor studies are very well ready for on study, magister studies. They may however too work and in related sphere, as is symbolic logic, various production running, disposition and planning of production and the like.
