mechanics
Objectives
Theoretical mechanics is the base of all other related mechchanical branches: moter engines, strength of materials, rngine building, pumps, engine fitting,...
Theoretical mechanics gives also general insight and scientific background for the understanding of the equilibrium, movement and working of mechanismes , engines and machinery.
Topics
Theoretical Mechanics has 3 major parts: statics, kinematics and dynamics.
In the statics we learn the student how to examinate the equilbrium of a simple and cmplicated solid body. At the same time he learns to calculate the reaction forces.
In the kinematics we learn about velocity and acceleration of solid bodys and mechanismes. In this part Force is not used.
Dynamics is the addition of the 2 previous parts. The student learns to see the relation between forces on a solid body or mechanism and the velocity and acceleration of this body or mechanism.
Prerequisites
Elementary mathematics
Final Objectives
Scientific obj AWC1 AWC2

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
