Moc materiałów? Strength of materials SM is about the resistance of

materials(and structures)

against external

environmental actions (forces,

deformations, temperatures etc.) which may lead to

the loss of load bearing

capacity

Students are expected to study by their own, making use of available contacts hours and suggested readings.

Course syllabus for undergraduate studies in Civil Engineering is on display (see Means of Communication)

It consists of compulsory contact hours: : 60 - in winter semester (30 lectures + 30 design exercises), and 75 – in spring semester (30 lectures + 30 exercises + 15 laboratory exercises)plus 30 hours of consultations (voluntary)

Means of communication

All important announcements for students will be exposed on official display panel next to the room 302, and on the web site www.civ-eng.pk.edu.pl.

Instruction language will be English, however some terminology will be given in Polish.

For benefit of both parties students and professors are suggested to use English at any circumstances.

Requirements

•Students have to:- attend all compulsory activities (lectures, exercises, labs), - fulfil all home assignments- pass written verification of their knowledge during the semester- pass final examination (in form of a test).

•The basis for students’ evaluation will be their performance during the semester. Final exam, if passed successfully, will modify only this assessment.

•Students with negative evaluation by the end of semester, but having done all efforts to get positive evaluation (collecting 40-55% of possible points), will be allowed to take a pre-examination - once in a semester.
