Learning outcomes
|
The main goal of the course is to give students an overview of the construction of the garden, orchard and communal mechanization that is suitable for work operations, such as the maintenance of grassy surfaces, trees and shrubs, maintenance of solitary flowers and flower beds, and also suitable for work operations such as water management, cleaning surfaces, watering and management of waste organic products.
The student is able to apply the knowledge, received during the study, specified in the part: Content of the syllabus.
