| Course abstract | |
| The aim of the study course is to acquire the theory of general (typical) machine elements (part and units), engineering calculations and design, present engineering knowledge for creative machine design work, develop engineering thinking, initiative and creation, to apply the existing ideas and to search for new ones, to modulate using analogues. | |
| 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) - 2 quizs.
Skills - how to choose a technical method to address tasks, use manuals and standards for practical tasks - 8 laboratory work tasks. Competence - capable of modulating tasks in machine science, addressing technical tasks and conducting independent studies, is a knowledgeable, informed and capable professional – 2 homework tasks. |

| Requirements for awarding credit points | |
| Course assessment is formed follows:
• all homework tasks must be submitted and graded (20%); • all lab tasks must be submitted and graded (50%); • classroom quiz must be written and graded (30%). 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 must independently solve two homework tasks, as well as perform calculations for the successful execution of laboratory works. Students prepare themselves for a quiz on the subject of lectures. | |
| Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes | |
| The grade is formed as the weighted mean of the results of homework tasks, lab tasks and the quiz. | |
