Course Objectives

Students will gain knowledge of the basic principles and function of electro-technical equipment used by mechanical engineers, and they will learn to cooperate with electrical engineers in the choice of new equipment. Examples that illustrate practical applications in process-related industries - pneumatic, hydraulic or other operations.

Course Description

The course is divided into three topics:

Logic and function elements, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). Relevant topics in practical control engineering that have not been covered in Cybernetics Basic Course.

Measurement Technology: Basic principles, equipment and practical applications for measuring strain, pressure, temperature, mass-volume flow, level and speed, and other relevant measurement variables. Technical flowchart and instrumentation form.

Electrical engineering technology: Basic electrical terms, AC-/DC circuits, devices and symbols.

Learning Methods

Lectures and exercises.

Assessment Methods

Individual written final examination counts 100% of the final grade.

Minor adjustments may occur during the academic year, subject to the decision of the Dean
