Learning outcomes of the course unit

The subject “Machine Design Fundamentals” provides students with knowledge of imaging, dimensioning, accuracy of size and geometric accuracy, surface quality, material selection, semi-finished materials, and standardized functional and technological elements.
Students learn how to apply such knowledge taking into account function and interchangeability on the drawings of parts manufactured from wrought semifinished products.

Prerequisites

Students are expected to have only knowledge acquired at secondary school.

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.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit requirements: attendance at seminars, drawing of graphic projects (programs), elaboration of tests and exercises. Student must obtain min. 2 points (of 30) for graphic projects (programs) and tests. Student must fulfill all four conditions. Exam includes a multiple-choice PC test with 70 points as maximum. Final evaluation reflects student’s work at seminars (max. 30 points) and the exam (max. 70 points). Final classification according to ECTS.

Aims

The aim of the course “Fundamentals of Design” is to introduce the requirements of component drawing. The students should be able to apply these requirements.
Emphasis is placed on ensuring function and interchangeability. The goal of the subject is to explain that creation of component drawing is a kind of synthesis of its appurtenances and that creation of technical documentation is (and will remain) the fundamental communication instrument of mechanical engineer.

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

Attendance at seminars is mandatory and controlled. It is not necessary to compensate for absence from max. two seminars.

Recommended optional programme components

Not applicable.

Prerequisites and corequisites
