Further information

Kevyen kaluston osuudessa opiskelijat jaetaan kahteen ryhmään: työkonetekniikan opiskelijat ja korjaamotekniikan opiskelijat. Osa tunneista pidetään ryhmittäin. Työkonetekniikan osuudessa keskitytään tarkemmin suunnitteluun ja valmistukseen. Korjaamotekniikan osuudessa pääpaino on vaurioanalyysissä.
