Language of instruction: Polish
Learning outcomes: Knowledge: Student gains practical information on preparing to handle self-propelled combine, and to supervise and coordinate the field work, in which is used technically and technologically complex harvesters Skills: The student acquires the ability of proper use of self-propelled combine in agricultural technology. Student distinguishes correct control systems, depending on the changing conditions of the field and the properties of the crop and acquires the ability to lead the team-work during the harvest
Competences: Student demonstrates an understanding of the phenomena occurring at the interface of biological materials and subassemblies of machine used during harvesting crops. Student assesses the impact of machines on materials of plant origin. Recognizes the principles of proper regulation of complex technology in terms of agricultural machinery and energy efficiency of the process and the quality of the crop. Recognizes the need for self-education in the context of the development of new technologies and technical means
Prerequisites: Agricultural and Forestry Machinery I, Agricultural Vehicles
Course content: Practical and theoretical course connected with maintenance, service and operational use of self-propelled harvesters, which are applied in the agricultural engineering, construction, control and regulation of the basic subassembly of harvesters, correct course of technological harvest process of different plant materials, law problems and issues connected with work safety and organization of work safety
