students the opportunity for further independent development of
knowledge in the field.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
- be able to describe the structure and function of common
hydraulic and pneumatic components such as cylinders, valves, pumps
and motors.
- be able to model common hydraulic components, pneumatic
components and simple systems quantitatively.
- be able to identify components in hydraulic and pneumatic
circuit diagrams.
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
- be able to create simple hydraulic and pneumatic circuit
diagrams for different applications.
- be able to choose and dimension suitable hydraulic and
pneumatic components for different applications.
- be able to analyse common hydraulic and pneumatic components
such as cylinders, valves, pumps and motors.
- be able to analyse simple hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- be able to build simple hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Contents
- a brief overview of the fundamental phenomena and
principles of hydraulics and pneumatics.
- study of the components utilized in building/designing
hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
