Course detail

Selected Chapters from Fundamentals of Design

FSI-0ZKAcad. year: 2025/2026

The course deepens information about the basics of creating of design documentation in terms of drawing, dimensioning and dimensional accuracy. The principles for determining the relationship between surface quality, geometric accuracy, function and interchangeability are extended. Following the requirements of students, attention is focused on the choice of quality of materials, suitable semi-finished products and basic standardized functional and technological elements. The principle of selected manufacturing technologies and their connection with the choice of dimensioning system is explained.

At the end of the course, students with more than 60% attendance at lessons will be awarded course-unit credits.


Attendance at lectures is checked.

Aims

Selected chapters from the basics of design make it easier for students to transition from high school without a technical focus. Lectures are designed to complement the basic lectures and exercises of the subject Fundamentals of Design and are focused not only on a more detailed explanation of the subject matter, but are also used for preparation for control tests and exam from the subject Fundamentals of Design.
The subject provides students with knowledge of technical drawing, dimensioning, accuracy of size and geometric accuracy, surface finishing, material selection, semi-finished materials, and standardized functional and technological elements. Students learn to apply such knowledge taking into account function and interchangeability of parts manufactured from worked semi-finished materials on the drawing. Possibility of graphic editors utilization.
