The students must acquire basic skills to develop the mechanization of operations in precision farming. In particular, they must be able to choose suitable machines for sustainable and high-quality work (knowing operational methods, safety aspects, etc.) while respecting mechanization constraints (economic, environmental, safety, etc.).

Knowledge and understanding
The student must acquire knowledge and understanding of the principles underlying the design and operation of machines and plants and be able to introduce them into agricultural sites, respecting various constraints.

Applying knowledge and understanding
The student must acquire the ability to apply theoretical knowledge of the topics covered in the course critically to identify individual machines, a fleet of machines, or systems for precision farming.

Making judgements
The student must be able to select specific machines and plants from the market suitable for various types of agricultural work sites where precision farming principles are applied. This should be done objectively, without being influenced by manufacturers, and respecting social, scientific, or ethical aspects related to each mechanization decision.

Communication skills
The student must be able to effectively communicate information about machines and plants and their technical-economic requirements to third parties (employers, clients such as agricultural companies, forestry enterprises, etc.), justifying their choices.

Learning skills
The course structure will be developed to first convey "cross-cutting" basic concepts relevant to any type of machine. Subsequently, individual types of machines (the most widespread in precision farming) will be covered. The topics will be presented to stimulate a desire for learning, logically developing knowledge gradually, from materials and mechanical principles to construction and safety aspects, to machine management. The same logic is required in creating a presentation (flipped classroom), which will be considered in the learning assessment.
