The course follows the subject Design project and another courses from previous studies. Four different topics of projects are assigned in relation to the currently addressed research and development projects. Students are divided into teams of 3-5 members. Each team solves one project. For successful solution of the project, which include complex engineering problems, students must manage to apply previously acquired knowledge, methods and procedures in the areas of engineering analysis, experiment control, virtual prototyping and parametric modeling. Each topic is led by supervisor of the project who checks the progress, consults possibilities of solution and ensures financing of realization, or communication with investor. Emphasis is placed on quality of outcomes and effectiveness and appropriateness of solutions including the choice of production technologies. At the end of the course, students defend the outcomes in front of the committee.
Examples of selected problem situations - project assignments:
Design and implementation of clamping fixture for digitization of parts of the human body. Steward vibroisolation platform for astronautics.
Construction of an experimental stand for simulation of the contact of real wheel and rail. Design of an active drive of hip joint simulator.
<br /> This course was supported under the FabLabNet project from the European Regional Development Fund within the programme "Interreg Central Europe". The course uses facilities of the open-access student workshop "StrojLab", built with the support of Institute of Machine and Industrial Design and the FabLabNet project.
