| Course abstract | |
| MicroStation and AutoCAD Students get an insight into the history of drawing programs (software), get acquainted with the use of the latest programs, their positive and negative qualities; gets acquainted with the engineering design software MicroStation and AutoCAD, the work environment of the software and their use in drawing topographic and situation plans, as well as in the preparation of other graphic materials, area determination, and design work. Students learn to draw various architectural elements, draw plans, and other drawings, and prepare them for printing in MicroStation and AutoCAD. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| MicroStation
1.Know MicroStation's operating principle, of MicroStation's capabilities in drawing, area determination and designing topographic plans and other graphical materials. Knowledge can be evaluated during the development of laboratory works. 2.Can draw with various types of drawing, editing, and other palettes, draw topographic plans and other graphic materials. Students can adjust plans and prepare for printing. Skills are assessed during tests and laboratory works. 3.Can independently solve tasks and facing the problems – solve them independently; use MicroStation to draw plans and apply topographic notations to draw plans. Competences could be assessed in independent work and control work. AutoCAD 1.Know and understand the principles of using the AutoCAD software to produce graphical materials - oral test. 2.Is able to use the main tools of the software and commands for a project - test work. 3.Can define the task, chooses the design method and tools and develops individual graphic material - independent work. |

| Requirements for awarding credit points | |
| Each section ends with a grade, the result is calculated as the weighted average
MicroStation Must have completed all planned exercises, drafted and credited individual work and passed 2 tests. AutoCAD There will be a test if there is completed an individual assignment and there is a positive result in conversation about the content of the course. |
|
| Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work | |
| MicroStation
1. Independent work: development of individual graphic material - design, applying skills acquired during laboratory works and according to the lecturer's instructions. 2. Independent work: drawing up a land unit plan according to territory geodetic surveying sketch (abriss) and point coordinates of the respective territory. AutoCAD During the independent work, the student develops individual graphic material according to the instructions of the lecturer. |
|
| Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes | |
| MicroStation
The grade is formed as an accumulative grade from the average grade of independent works (20%) and the average grade of tests (80%). AutoCAD The student can demonstrate his / her skills in working with AutoCAD by defending individually developed graphic material. |
