Developing general and specific student competencies
Mastering the basics of mechanical behavior of construction materials and dimensioning of elements. Adopting an integrated approach in problem solving.

Assessment and Examination
Student knowledge is assessed continuously throughout the course through classroom discussions and active participation.
Assessment consists of:
Two midterm examinations or a written final examination.
An oral examination, taken after successfully passing the written examination.
The final grade is based on the student's performance in the written and oral examinations, as well as their participation and engagement during lectures and practical sessions.

1. distinguish the basic forms of structure loads
2. analyze the causal relationship between stresses and strains in a broader sense
3. connect the principles of material mechanics with mechanical structures
4. analyze two-dimensional examples of stress and strain states
5. analyze and optimize deformation and microstructural processes
6. link the methodology of testing the mechanics of materials with the development of materials and products
7. identify appropriate processing and shaping processes
