Language
SwedishPrior knowledge
Knowledge equivalent to 50 credits agricultural science and 20 credits technology.Objectives
On completion of the course, the student is expected to have knowledge of modern manufacturing methodology and additional knowledge of mechanical engineering, mechanics, fluid mechanics and electric technology applied within the agriculture.
On completion of the course the student should be able to:
describe modern manufacturing methodology, common machine elements and material that is used in farm machinery.
carry out calculations and basic design with application of fluid mechanics, mechanics and electric technology.
describe the function of common types of engines and transmissions and show ability to evaluate the efficiency at these at usage in different situations.
be able to describe at a general level computer communication, measure - and positioning technique for precision farming and guidance of implements.
show ability to utilise the knowledge about the technical properties of biomaterials to basic technical applications within the agriculture.

The course is based on lectures and studies of literature that is processed through written assignments. The students will also do exercises, laboratory sessions and field trips.
Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination
Approved examination and presentations of written assignments and attendance at compulsory parts.
If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
