Goal
  • The goal is to form a system of scientific and professional knowledge and skills in students in the field of mining mechanics, namely, equipment and installations that ensure the life of a mine (mine) for the entire period of its (its) operation.
Objective
  • The main objectives of the study of the discipline are: - the creation of students' theoretical foundations in the field of HE and PU; - obtaining knowledge about the designs of existing types of turbomachines and their technical and economic characteristics; - ability to calculate and select the equipment of the main fan installation; - the ability to calculate and select the equipment of the local ventilation fan installation; - ability to calculate and choose equipment for a drainage installation; - determination of parameters of pipelines of pumps; - determination of the main parameters of pneumatic installations.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
  • Knowledge and understanding of: - theoretical foundations in the field of drainage, fan and pneumatic installations; - designs of existing types of turbomachines and their technical and economic characteristics; - to calculate and select the equipment of the main fan installation; - calculate and select the equipment of the local ventilation fan installation; - calculate and select the equipment of the drainage installation; - determination of parameters of pipelines of pumps; - determination of the main parameters of pneumatic installations.
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • Application of knowledge and understanding: - be able to calculate the drainage, fan and pneumatic installation; - choose a rational mode of operation and drive installations; - critically assess the performance of existing installations in terms of reliability and efficiency of operation; - operate drainage, fan and pneumatic installations in accordance with the Safety Rules
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • Forming judgments: are able to integrate knowledge and deal with complex issues and form judgments based on incomplete or limited information on the application or development of new designs of dewatering, fan and pneumatic installations, taking into account the social and ethical responsibility associated with the use of their knowledge and judgment.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • Communication: can communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and rationale used to formulate them on the operation of existing and the development of new designs of drainage, fan and pneumatic installations to specialists and non-specialists clearly and consistently.
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Period Type of task Total
1  rating An individual assignment is given to each student for the rating. 0-100
2  rating An individual assignment is given to each student for the rating. 0-100
Total control Exam 0-100

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

  • 40% of the examination result;
  • 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6 MT1+MT2 +0,4E
2

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:

Alphabetical grade Numerical value Points (%) Traditional grade
A 4.0 95-100 Excellent
A- 3.67 90-94
B+ 3.33 85-89 Good
