Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to get acquainted with the technological process of machine parts, assemblies and machine manufacturing, its separate elements, sequence of execution, control, conservation, storage. Students gain the opportunity to use the previously acquired knowledge to perform a specific task.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge of the components of machines parts, assemblies and machinery manufacturing process, choice of variants.

Skills to choose from the many possible solutions to choose the most optimal and prove it.
Competence in mechanical engineering processes, their importance in the development and quality assurance of the product design algorithm.

The course project is evaluated in general after its development.
