Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to design project of mechanical drive and device. The drive should include source of mechanical power the mechanical drive. Students acquainted with designing process. The technical drawings must be created by CAD methods and should include 3 sheets of A1 size.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge - know the criteria for workability of machines, machines and parts, selection of materials and design methods, knowledge of the design-related standards (ISO, LVS, DIN) - project.
Skills - how to choose a technical method to address tasks, use manuals and standards for practical tasks - project.

Competence - capable of modulating tasks in machine science, addressing technical tasks and conducting independent studies, is a knowledgeable, informed and capable professional – project.

Requirements for awarding credit points

Course project is assessed as follows:
• correctness of the report (40%)
• conformity to formatting rules (50%)
• conformity of the technical drawings (50%).
Credit points are assigned if the rate weighted average score is at least grade 4.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Students shall independently develop the report, calculations and technical drawings of the course project. Students prepare themselves to defend a course job.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The grade is formed as the weighted mean of the results of report, conformity to formatting rules and technical drawings.
