Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students acquire a deep insight into the key factors influencing the construction of different kinds of forming machines and learn to apply them within the scope of their dissertation work.
Prerequisites
Complex and high-quality engineering knowledge on the parts of machines and on construction of technical products.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
No credit; students must produce a written work at least 2 weeks before the exam. The exam is in oral form, evaluation of the written work represents 50% of the final classification.
Aims
The objective of the course is to familiarize the PhD students with the knowledge from the field of theory and construction of forming machines.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Student’s work is checked by an exam constituting of an oral part and the defense of a written seminar work. Missed lessons can by substituted by self-study with the use of study materials (literature) provided by the course guarantee.
