Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with basic rules applied in the introductory stage of a project solution. They will master the formulation of expected goals of the project, retrieving information and collection of needed documents and results of previous works, they will study and analyse the collected documents, and will be able to set the following steps necessary for solving of the whole project.

Prerequisites

Knowledge gained by the previous studies, mainly of production units designing, their simulation, ways of controlling and SW and HW equipment.

Co-requisites

Aims

The aim of the course is for students to learn basic principles of solving within the introductory stage of the research target: clarification of the objectives, collecting all available documents and source materials, studying, analysing and evaluating of the documents and previous solutions, specifying further procedures for solving of the problem based on the above materials.

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

Attendance at check laboratory seminars is obligatory, only substantial reasons of absence are accepted and the state of project solution has to be checked in other agreed seminar.
