Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will master the methods of non-destructive evaluation of materials at the level of qualification grade I of workers in the area of NDE. On completing the practicals, students will have done 20 hours of testing practice.
Prerequisites
Fundamental chapters of general physics
1.Solid mechanics
2.Fluid mechanics
3.Electricity and magnetism
4.Oscillations and waves
4.Knowledge of technological processes.
5.Interaction between selected physical quantities and environment
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Conditions for awarding the course-unit credit: Attendance at exercises, writing the required reports on laboratory exercises on corresponding factual and graphic level. Exam: The knowledge of topic areas dealt with in lectures is tested (mostly in written form). In the oral part detailed partial knowledge is tested or results of written test are corrected. Considered in the grading are: 1) the results of the evaluation of reports on laboratory exercises 2)the results of the written test and oral interview.
Aims
The objective is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of the basic non-destructive evaluation of materials and operation diagnostics
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at exercises is compulsory. Absence from exercises must be accounted for. Students who have missed an exercise will be given an extra assignment. They will prove in the form of a written report that they have mastered the given topic.
