Learning outcomes of the course unit
– Ability of creative thinking within the individually assigned machine design task with the possibility to apply his / her original solution to the problem.
- Ability to use design methodology in designing a design unit, including task assignment, information collection, variant design, optimal design, component and assembly drawing, list of items and with technical report.
- Knowledge of CAD support in the field of computational tools for the design dimensions of standard machine components.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the appurtenances of component drawings and assembly units. Knowledge of available CAD system.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through exercises which are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The student has to submit a satisfactory elaborated solution of the design problem. Final classification according to ECTS.
Aims
Aim of the course CAD is a synthesis and practical application of knowledge acquired in previous courses of machine design to engineering units. Students elaborate a complex project with full support of CAD programs. Graduates will be able to design a simple system design that meets the basic design requirements according to the assignment.
