List and characteristics of the study programme classrooms
The specialist laboratories and classrooms of the Department of Applied Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering provide space not only for the implementation of scientific research activities of the departments staff, but also for the professional training of students in subjects mainly focused on the analysis of mechanical systems and structures using the methods of analytical, numerical and experimental mechanics. The laboratories are equipped with modern measuring systems and instruments and are constantly being expanded with new devices, sensors and supporting measuring means. Computer classrooms are equipped with powerful computers with regularly updated software focused on numerical calculations, simulations and modeling. The audio-visual technique necessary for presentation purposes is standard. Students can also use the laboratories and classrooms outside the teaching process, e.g. as part of solving student projects or final theses. In addition, students have the option of remotely connecting to school computers. A complete list of the department's laboratories and classrooms, including their focus and technical equipment, is available at: https://www.sjf.tuke.sk/kamasi/sk/veda-vyskum/labaky-ucebne
Characteristics of the information provision
Access to study literature and information databases is provided through the TUKE University Library: http://www.lib.tuke.sk/Library/Home/DigitalLibrary The library fund of UK TUKE consists of its own funds (books, scripts, anthologies, magazines, theses and electronic media). In 2022, the library fund consisted of 172,878 book units. The annual addition to the library is over 3,000 book units. The study room contains basic and supplementary study literature, magazines, anthologies, encyclopedias, language and educational dictionaries. Users have free access to them. As part of the lending services, users borrow approximately 5,000 book units annually. The university library has barrier-free access to 2 elevators and 2 barrier-free toilets.
