Learning outcomes of the course unit
Design of machine parts and mechanisms, computational verification of designed machine parts, drives and mechanisms and evaluation of their reliability for the desired technical life.
Prerequisites
It is assumed the students knowledge of design fundamentals, material science and solid mechanics from their previous study at FME BUT.
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 classification is based on two written tests at predetermined dates, usually in the middle and end of the semester. The control test consists of five theoretical questions (four points each) and three calculation examples (ten points each). The condition for obtaining the credit is to obtain at least 50 points from both tests. The maximum total score is 100. The resulting score corresponds to the ECTS classification. The student is allowed to write a correction test in the date specified by the teacher, usually in the exam period.
Aims
Graduates will be able to analyse and address basic problems related to the design and control of machine parts, drives and mechanisms.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Participation in lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is compulsory – two absences are allowed. The lectures are based on the textbook Mechanical Engineering Design. This book is an essential source of information for the final test. The scaled preview of the lecture presentations will be available in on-line Moodle system.
