    The goal
    Enable understanding of theoretical foundations and applications of the computational mechanics for the design of engineering structures with respect to their stability. Develop creativity and ability to understand, formulate and solve engineering problems independently.
    The outcome
    Student is able and competent to analyze and solve problems of stability of engineering structures.
    Contents

    Облици провјере знања и оцјењивање
    It is compulsory to solve and defend project assignment during the semester. The project must be submitted and defended by the start of next semester. If the students do not pass colloquiums during the semester, they can take correctional colloquiums during the regular examination period.
