ENGINEERING FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT NEW METHODS IN EDUCATION OF HVAC FOR ERABEE

Abstract

Abstract. The paper describes the new approach to the education of the course focused on heating, ventilation and air-conditioning in the frame of MSc. study programs specialized on Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering. Special attention is paid to the new methods of individual study with e-learning, modern methods of designing with use of specialized and also commercial software and programs (e.g. CFD Fluent, OpenFOAM etc.). Seminars and laboratory work complete the education with practical or experimental measurements of all main microclimatic parameters (thermal state, purity of air, noise, illumination etc.) and individual designs prepared by the students during the semester and presented by the students in seminars of the group at the end of semester, before the examination period. Lectures and seminars cover all principal problems related to the buildings and equipment in agriculture and Biosystems engineering
