German

This pre-semester course prepares foreign students for academic study at a German university. The focus is on the improvement of oral and written expression as well as grammar and lexical proficiency. The course covers selected topics on German politics and society within a historical context. In addition, excursions are planned to introduce students to German culture. Students work with cultural topics in everyday situations and broaden their intercultural knowledge. They are introduced to independent learning methods and familiarize themselves with typical learning situations at German universities. In this class at the B1 level according to CEFR, students consolidate and systematically build further basic grammar points and vocabulary. They expand their proficiency in all four skills. The B1 level is split into two courses, the B1.1 course covers the first half of the level and the B1.2 course covers the second half of the level.

This course is the second of two fluid mechanics courses that are taught concurrently in a single semester. Students take Fluid Mechanics I and then either Fluid Mechanics II (Higher Flow Level) or Fluid Mechanics II (Technique and Examples). The course discusses topics including hydrostatics, kinematics of fluids, streamline theory of inviscid fluids, momentum and angular momentum, movement of compressible fluids, Navier-Stokes equation of motion and its applications, vortices and boundary layer flows, turbulent flows, pipe flows, flow around bodies, and similarity laws of fluid dynamics. The course consists of two hour lectures which review the course concepts, and two hour seminars in which students solve problems.

Lower intermediate level B1 allows students to progress from the elementary command of language of the basic course level to the independent language use of level B2. Students develop reading, listening, writing and speaking skills in these courses with the purpose of improving the understanding of the lectures, seminars, and exercises in their own field of study in Germany. This helps students carry out assignments in their own subject successfully. The B1 level is split into two consecutive courses, the B1.1 course covers the first half of the level and the B1.2 course covers the second half of the level.

This course offers a study of the fundamentals of aircraft aerodynamics. Topics include lift and drag, and aerodynamics of the wing and the tail units. The course examines theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods in aerodynamics. The course consists of lectures, and exercises in which theoretical and experimental exercises are reviewed. Students participate in an excursion to the wind tunnel on Technical University's campus. Students are required to have completed a fluid mechanics course as a prerequisite.
