- The ability to determine the mutual relations of human-machine-environment system.

Prerequisites

Precondition for the course is to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and overall creative erudition in the previous study. Students have mastered the fundamentals of drawing and modeling. It is also necessary understanding of the basic spatial creation, art composition and realization of three-dimensional models.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The subject is taught in the form of seminars, which are focused on the elaboration of the bachelor's thesis under the professional guidance.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The condition of granting a classified credit is obligatory attendance at the seminars at the scheduled hours and individual consultation with the supervisor.
