Academy of Technical and
Art Applied Studies Belgrade

Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering Course code: 117061 | 5 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 1
Semester: 2
Requirements:
Goal: Introduction to general machine elements, basic technological procedures for production of machine elements and machines on which these procedures are realized.
Outcome: Upon successful completion of the course, the student has acquired sufficient knowledge to understand the composition and functioning of mechanical structures and in combination with other subjects in practical work can easily identify individual machine parts and assemblies and potential hazards of these parts and structures, as well as technological capabilities of the most commonly used production machines. The course enables the students of the study program Railway Mechanical Engineering to successfully follow the teaching of the subject Mechanical Elements.
