Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will acquire the basic knowledge of three-dimensional descriptive geometry necessary to solve real life situations in various areas of engineering.
Prerequisites
The students have to be familiar with the fundamentals of geometry and mathematics at the secondary school level.
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
COURSE-UNIT CREDIT REQUIREMENTS: Draw up 5 semestral works (each at most 2 points), there is one written test (the condition is to obtain at least 5 points of maximum 10 points). The written test will be in the 9th week of the winter term approximately.
FORM OF EXAMINATIONS: The exam has an obligatory written and oral part. In a 90-minute written part, students have to solve 3 problems (at most 60 points). The student can obtain at most 20 points for oral part.
RULES FOR CLASSIFICATION:
1. Results from seminars (at most 20 points)
2. Results from the written examination (at most 60 points)
3. Results from the oral part (at most 20 points)
Final classification:
0-49 points: F
50-59 points: E
60-69 points: D
70-79 points: C
80-89 points: B
90-100 points: A
Aims
The course aims to acquaint the students with the theoretical basics of descriptive geometry. It will provide them with a computer aided training in basic parts of geometry.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at seminars is required. The way of compensation for an absence is fully at the discretion of the teacher.
