Course detail

Year Project II - Machining

FSI-DR3-KAcad. year: 2025/2026

The course “Year Project” is aimed at the systematic and independent work when solving the technical problem in the branches of engineering technology related to machining, design of tools and technological projects. Introductory or partial problems, which will dealt with in detail in the bachelor thesis, are solved within these branches. The Project is concluded by working out a short technical report.

Entry knowledge

Students are expected to have the knowledge of the technology of machining, material science, fundamentals of metrology and English language.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The classification is performed by the graded course-unit credit, which confirms that the student has attended all required seminars and fulfilled all requirements for its awarding. The grade reflects the quality of tasks with respect to technical and formal level of submitted report.
Compulsory attendance in all lessons is required and checked by the tutor. It can be recompensed by a consultation of solved problem at a professional workplace outside the faculty, or visit of technical library on the base of the tutor previous agreement, in individual cases. Longer absence is recompensed according to the tutor instructions.

Aims

The goal of the Project is to acquaint students with the methods of performing a specific technical problem in simple applications, particularly in the introductory analytical part. Students majoring in machining technology will learn how to design a technological process for production of simple shaft components, gear wheels etc., including the design of a machine tool, tools, clamps, measuring instruments and cutting conditions.
The student will be made familiar with the method of searching and evaluating of technical information. He/she will learn how to perform a technological problem analysis with regard to the current state of technical and scientific knowledge of the field, and to deduce conclusions and recommendations from this analysis. He/she acquire basic knowledge necessary for performing a technical report.
