Course detail

Design Seminar - Solid Works

FSI-ZKSAcad. year: 2011/2012

The course extends practical experience and theoretic bases of CAD systems gained in subjects ZM1, ZM2. The theoretical part introduces students to advanced methods of design particularly with regard to production technology. During practical part, students are working on concrete project assigned at the beginning of the semester. First half of the semester is devoted to the creation of CAD models and drawings in SolidWorks. Second half is reserved for manufacturing of the prototype developed according to the model and drawings.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students gain new knowledge in the field of computer aided design. In the practical part, students gain new experience with the physical implementation of a specific project. During the semester students are working in groups on practical projects, whose results are presented in the credit week.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of technical drawings - Machine Design Fundamentals (1K).
Knowledge of modeling in CAD systems (4KC).
Knowledge of designing and dimensioning of machine parts, gears and mechanisms (5KS,6KT,6KM).

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit will be awarded after submission of well developed project, presentation and delivery of its digital form, and a prototype.

Course curriculum

Not applicable.

Work placements

Aims

Allow students to realize a physical prototype according a certain assignment with use of available technical facilities and technologies. Apply knowledge obtained during studies to solution of the project with a functional prototype output. Gain experience with working in a team.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Participation in the exercises is obligatory and is controlled by the teacher. Absences can be compensated in exceptional and well-founded cases – to be determined by the course supervisor.

Recommended optional programme components
