Mechanics of Materials II

Mechanics and Statics

In the theoretical-practical classes we use the lecture method and inquisitive. During the explanation of theoretical issues students proceed to solve exercises individually or in groups. Tutorials in class explores individual learning skills and teamwork through answering questions and monitoring of various theoretical works.
Assessment: Final exam is performed. The exam will be divided into two parts: fundamental problems (5.0 rating values) and applied problems (15.0 rating points). To pass the course, students must obtain a minimum grade of 3.0 on the values of fundamental problems. It is expected to carry out written or oral test for students who require special examination.
