MašZP018 [GMASP018] Practice in Metal Processing II
The purpose of the study course: to provide a set of practical skills in the management of numerically controlled machine tools, in the preparation of CNC control programs. Educational practice Metalworking takes place in the educational workshops and laboratories of the Institute of Engineering and Energy. Students are assigned by order of the rector and obey all the rules of the study process. Students strengthen the first skills in turning and milling and learn the basics of developing technological processes in turning and milling.
Knowledge - knows the technical parameters, structure and equipment of machine tools - practice report;
Skills - knows the technical parameters, structure, necessary work tools and application possibilities of machine tools - test;
Competence - able to choose and justify the compliance of production machines with production conditions and production volume - assessment.

Part-time extramural studies:
All the topics intended for full-time studies are covered, yet the number of contact hours is ½ of the specified number of hours.
At least 80% attendance and successful completion of assignments
The content of the independent work consists of preparation for the current practice task.
Type of examination – assessment with a mark. The passing assessment consists of: prepared report on practice; quality of practice program execution; oral questions about the work to be done in practice.
