17. Learning outcomes
A. Knowledge
  • The student knows the advantages, conditions, application ranges and the theoretical and practical aspects of the specific CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) methodologies for solving industrial (R&D) problems and for having new scientific results.
B. Skills
  • The student can solve CFD simulation tasks independently in the specific areas with especial care for the highest level approximation of the reality and/or at the best “computational cost/accuracy” ratio with verification, plausibility check and validation.
  • The student can develop and obtain new industrial and scientific results after understanding and analysing CFD results.
C. Attitudes
  • The student aims to complete his/her studies at the highest level, under the shortest time, by providing his/her knowledge and capacity at the best to obtain knowledge for deep and independent professional work.
  • The student has strong professional commitment, has developed expectations for finding new, better solutions and has agreement on doing hard work.
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
  • The student takes responsibility for guiding mates by the quality of his/her work and by keeping ethical norms.
  • The student takes responsibility for applying the knowledge in line with the studied conditions, limitations and constraints.
  • The student can friendly accept the well-established constructive criticism and can utilize that in future.
  • The student is a creative constructor, proactive, and has leadership skills and argument techniques, capabilities with responsibility during the studies, research work.
18. Requirements, way to determine a grade (obtain a signature)
The criterion of the acceptance of the semester and so getting the signature is the completeness of the solution of a defined problem in a specific area in the agreed time and quality. The exam is oral. The final mark of the exam is the mathematical average of the results for the own task and the exam.
19. Opportunity for repeat/retake and delayed completion
 
20. Learning materials
