Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

6

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The students will acquire knowledge of conventional as well as unconventional types of technologies, and will be able to apply these technologies for particular cases of forming.

Prerequisites

The basic knowledge of the manufacturing technology and theory of the forming process.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course – unit credit requirements: participation in the exercises, delivery of assigned papers.
The examination consists of written and oral part. The final classification will be in accordance with ECTS grading scale.

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the use of special forming methods in broad terms.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance in lectures is recommended. The attendance in exercises is compulsory. The attendance to the seminar is regularly checked and the participation in the lesson is recorded. The missed lesson is possible to replace with another study group in the same week. In case, that the lesson does not possible to replace, the student will elaborate the complemental task.
