Temeko Project in brief
TEMEKO is a project funded by the European Social Fund. It targets to educate people from the technical field, with four different course modules. Our first offering includes courses in mechanics, machine dynamics, simulation of a mechatronic machine, and the finite element method.
Our main aim is to upgrade the competence profile and improve professional competitiveness of professionals involved in technical fields. We want to help increase skills and support a lifelong learning in top-notch subjects. TEMEKO’s short and concise online courses are available anywhere in world regardless of time. The best of all of this, taking the courses is free.
The background of the project is that the Finnish industry needs more professional mechanics for work, because the number of students and the need for industry don’t meet. Over 36 800 new experts from engineering field are needed in technology industry by 2021. By creating targeted course modules, we help participants to gain knowledge and update their learning profile which will provide companies more skilled workforce and helps Finnish workforce shortage in the long run.

Aims
The student will learn theories and practices of structural dynamics and knows how to apply the knowledge in the design of machine systems. He/she is able to model dynamic machine systems, solve the equations of motion in frequency and time domains and analyze the results from simulations and measurements. The student knows the basics of vibrations measurements and experimental modal analysis. The student is able to review and interpret his/her student mate’s simulation results resembling the tasks in the later career. Some of the practical examples and assignments are real-life cases arising from co-operation with industrial companies.
