Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The classification is based on two written tests at predetermined dates, usually in the middle and end of the semester. The control test consists of theoretical questions and calculation examples. The condition for obtaining the credit is to obtain at least 50% of points from both tests. The resulting score corresponds to the ECTS classification. The student is allowed to write a correction test in the date specified by the teacher, usually in the exam period.
Participation in lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is compulsory - two absences are allowed. The lectures are based on the textbook Mechanical Engineering Design. This book is an essential source of information for the final test. The scaled preview of the lecture presentations will be available in on-line Moodle system.
Aims
Design of machine parts and mechanisms, computational verification of designed machine parts, drives and mechanisms and evaluation of their reliability for the desired technical life.
