Course detail
Technological Projects and Materials Handling
FSI-ETM Acad. year: 2018/2019 Winter semester
The course of Technological projects & materials handling aims at introducing students to the basics of technological design and enables them to gain insight into independent processing of pre-project analysis and precise technological layout of workshop as well as basic manufacturing operations, including material handling. The course mainly deals with the following topics: capacity calculations, fundamental design of manufacturing plant, detailed layout of workshops & workplaces, assembly lines & IPS and utilizes ergonomy in its technological design. The main focus of the field relating to material handling is on the pre-project preparation, material handling devices, storage design & economic evaluation of project. Substantial part of the subject is also given to the use of computers & modern software for the purpose of company design & material handling processes. Students will also become familiar with basic principles of project management (application conditions, methods, criteria for success of the project etc.).

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will acquire necessary knowledge from the areas of mechanical engineering workshops designing and material handling. The course is focused mainly on different technologies of mechanical engineering, such as metal forming, welding and cutting, machining and casting.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of manufacturing technology (forming and machining technology), as well as basic knowledge of machines and technological equipment used.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The exam has three parts: In the first part the student counts an example from the area of representative models of producing efficiency, in the second part the student solves an example of material store designing, and the third part is a theoretical question from different parts of the subject.
For the evaluation the ECTS is used.
Aims
The main goal of the subject is to provide students with all basic information about designing of industrial plants. The course is divided into different parts: one focusing on designing of workshops and production lines, one concentrating on material handling. Both parts are connected with different technology of mechanical engineering.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at lectures is checked. The lecture is different each week, that is why an absence may be compensated for in the same week only. Only one lecture may be missed without penalty.
