Course abstract

In the course work, it is necessary to choose a furniture product, for which connections must be developed, the choice of materials and fittings must be substantiated and compliance with the requirements of EN standards must be assessed. Product detail and insight into possible manufacturing technology are prepared.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge of wood materials and furniture use furniture constructions and documentary solution of their reflection.
(Evaluation of the first chapters of the course paper, which contain a description of the products and include the justification of the elements)

Skills result in a sketch and understandable drawing of a wood product and play to present it in a technically understandable way.
(The visual part of the course work and the corresponding explanatory sections are evaluated)

Competencies for the product connection and guidance technology and descriptive section.
(All course work and defence are evaluated together)

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

At the beginning of the semester, the potential product is discussed with each student individually. There is an introductory instruction on the technical and content side of the course work. Further actions are discussed individually with each student, creating guidelines for the development process and helping with any problems that may arise.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The written side of the course paper is evaluated with a mark and the process of defending the course paper is evaluated with a mark. Both marks form
