Course detail

Technical Diagnostics I

FSI-XT1-KAcad. year: 2016/2017

The subject is focused on the advanced knowledge from technical diagnostics. The course continues the subject called Principles of technical diagnostics (CTD) in the bachelor’s study. The emphasis is put on the problems of theoretical knowledge in technical diagnostics, for example, embodiment of technical diagnostics into the product quality, clarification and description of diagnostic systems, furthermore analysis of diagnostic models, diagnostic signals and classification of technical diagnostics. Consecutively, attention is focused on individual diagnostic methods, for example, thermodiagnostics, level height diagnostics and flow diagnostics. Emphasis is always laid on the application of individual diagnostics to assess the conditions of technical objects. The lectures are completed with tutorials in which the most important themes are practised in detail. Results and conclusions in seminars are discussed. Technical diagnostics I will be followed by Technical diagnostics II which describes and analyzes the other diagnostic methods that are suitable for assessment of technical object conditions.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

A student acquires comprehensive and complex knowledge of the diagnostics which can apply in industrial mechanical/electrical engineering practice to solve different problems related to the aforementioned topics.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of mathematics and physics on the level of the bachelor studies completed so far is assumed.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The subject consists of lectures and laboratory. According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.


Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The subject is completed by the credit and the examination. The prescribed requirements with which the students shall be familiarized at the beginning of the semester, i.e. compulsory participation in laboratories, elaborating and well-timed handover of all laboratory reports from all laboratory practices and at least the scoring of 8 from the laboratory reports submitted, must be met to achieve the credit. Each laboratory report can be assessed with the maximum scoring of 4, that is, the maximum scoring rate is 20 from the whole laboratory practice. The scoring is added to the total subject classification. The student’s active approach in the laboratory practice preparation and during the laboratory practice itself is also included as one criterion. The student’s knowledge may be tested by the lecturer in different ways, for example, in short tests or oral examinations. The examination is in a form of a written test which is scored. The maximum scoring is 80. The final scoring rate of the subject shall be summed of the laboratory scoring and the scoring of the written test, and the maximum scoring is 100. The subject is classified according to the ECTS classification scale.

Aims

The objective of the subject is to acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge of the diagnostics of technical systems.

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

The student attendance is checked in tutorials (presence and activity). The 100% participation in tutorials is required, and in case of absence, the student will be obliged to compensate, the alternative attendance will be specified by the lecturer.
