Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students obtain knowledge necessary for evaluation of technological methods, design from technology point of view and for technology planning of joining, casting, machining, plexiglass forming, surface treatment and assembly.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of the structure, phase transformations and properties of metal structural materials. Basic technological principles and methods of materials processing - welding, brazing, casting, machining.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Attendance at seminars and completing all papers is necessary for the course unit credit award. Final oral examination consists of two parts: 1. A practical task 2.Two theoretical questions
