Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will acquire knowledge of unconventional types of modern welding technologies, and will be able to apply these technologies to particular examples of special welding. They will be able to independently and creatively work on a welding procedure.
Prerequisites
Students are expected to be familiar with the fundamentals of fusion and pressure welding technology, as well as with science of materials.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures which are focused on basic principles and theories of the individual sectors. The teaching is completed by practical laboratory exercises.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The course-unit credits award is based on attendance at seminars, correct elaboration of computational assignment and active participation in its processing.
The final exam will be composed of written and oral part.
It is classificated to the ECTS grading scale.
Language of instruction
Czech
Aims
The main objective of the course is to provide students with the theoretical foundations and methodology necessary for solving technologies of problems relating to the application of special welding technologies. Students will acquire knowledge necessary for a complex solution of special welding technology application.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The attendance to the seminar is regularly checked and the participation in the lesson is recorded. The missed lesson a student will elaborate the complemental task.
