Supervisor
Entry knowledge
Basic knowledge of the structure of machine tools and knowledge in the field of mathematics, physics and electrotechnical qualification (50/1978) §4.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course is taught in the form lectures and seminars. The exercise is completed by the credit. To acquire the required 100% participation from the presented term project. Exams when the overall classification is composed of two sub-scores (as assessed ECTS).
The students’ participation and activity in seminars shall be checked. 100% participation in seminars is required; in case of absence, the student is obliged to substitute for the missed tuition in a way determined by the teacher.
Aims
The aim of the course is to learn the methods of design using CAD software (Inventor, SolidWorks, etc.), computer software (Mathcad MITCalc, etc.) and simulation software ADAMS.
Students will learn the methods of designing machine tools and their construction nodes.
