Course detail
Technical Diagnostic Fundamentals
FSI-CTD Acad. year: 2020/2021 Summer semester
The course is focused on the most advanced knowledge in technical diagnostics. Attention is devoted to clarification of incorporation of technical diagnostics into the product quality and to familiarization with the basic terms which are important for technical diagnostics. The diagnostic system, model and signal which belong among such terms are explained and discussed. Further, the basic diagnostic methods are described and discussed in detail. It is the diagnostics of deformation and pressure including the basic measurement and evaluation methods of the object temperature condition. Attention is devoted to the existing measuring instruments, measurement methods, and especially, to the monitored system status assessment and evaluation. The students are also familiarized with the standards and legislation valid in technical diagnostics. The possible qualification and its acquirement in technical diagnostics are also presented in detail. The course is completed with the exercises in which the selected topics are practiced using the examples from industrial practice. The results and conclusions are also discussed in the exercises. The Technical Diagnostics 1 and 2 courses in the master study continue this course. By doing so, the student will acquire state-of-the-art knowledge in the field of multiparametric technical diagnostics of machines and equipment, even within the Industry 4.0 initiative.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Pursuant to the course contents, students will acquire basic knowledge in the field of technical systems diagnostics, which will allow them to engage in solving various problems related to the area in question in industrial engineering and electrotechnic practice.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of mathematics and physics on the level of the bachelor studies completed so far is assumed.
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.
According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The course consists of exercises and lectures. Exercise is completed by credit (awarded in the 13th week). To obtain it is required 100% participation in exercises and activity in exercises. Students will work out the individual work in the prescribed range and quality. Based on the quality of the work in the exercise, the student earns up to 30 points for the exam The work must be submitted in writing and checked and recognized by the teacher. The test is realized by written test, student can get up to 70 points from this test, where 30 points from exercises. Evaluation of the test result is given by the ECTS grading scale.
Aims
The objective of the course is to obtain basic knowledge in the field of technical systems diagnostics.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The students’ participation and activity in seminars shall be checked. 100% participation in seminars is required; in case of absence, the student is obliged to substitute for the missed tuition in a way determined by the teacher.
