The home faculty only

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will learn to analyse production machines and systems from the point of up-to date conception and methods and use them in the production machines and systems design, projection, planning and application. They will practice their knowledge for semester project (work) in the area.

Prerequisites

Student should have knowledge from design and control of production
machines and systems and university mathematics and physics.

Co-requisites

Are not.

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

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Condition for a course-unit credit awarding:
1. 100 % attendance at seminars (in special cases it is possible to compensate by assigning special homework).
2. Checking activity of students on the term project.
3. Final course examination includes the following parts:
1) Evaluation of semestral project.
2) Evaluation of knowledege from this subject based on the semestral project.

Course curriculum

Not applicable.

Work placements

Are not organized.

Aims

This subject will provide students with knowledge about up-to-date integration
and optimisation trends in machines and production systems design and application.

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

Checking knowledge at seminars in the frame of the term project (work individually or in groups of students entered). Attendance at seminars will be checked.

Syllabus

1.-13. At seminars students will work out a term project on the assigned topic from Reengineering of production machines and systems design, projection and application with using of positive examples (patterns) from nature in the field of innovation of higher grades.
Example of the term project assignment:
Analyses and application of reengineering of the future product development and optimisation for the developing world markets (solved by EU students):
1) Reengineering steps (sales service, value analysis, brainstorming, specification, examples)
2) The influence of reengineering on company (methods department, quality department, purchasing department etc.)
3) Business and management aspects (strategy, changes management, reengineering of the team composition etc.)
4) Using of positive examples for the improvement and innovation of higher grades etc.
