Learning outcomes
The target of learning is suplying informations about melioration and ground works and understanding among others technological process and construction machinery conceptual structure for individual work stages. School-leavers be gaining cnowledges about real capacity of ground, melioration machinery and mechanization for undesirable brush control on melioration and build areas. Working knowledges they will be practically making for timing and costing estimates at ground work, ground preventive throughout the country, ecological compliance project, maintenance of protective objects, maintenance of industry structures, maintenace of hydroengineering structures and pastime activities citizens utilization.
The student is able to apply the knowledge, received during the study, specified in the part: Content of the syllabus.
Prerequisites
basics of vehicle designing
