Aims
Aim of the course CAD is a synthesis and practical application of knowledge acquired in previous machine design courses to design an engineering unit. Students elaborate a complex project with full support of CAD programs. Graduates will be able to design a simple system design that meets the basic design requirements according to the assignment.
Competences acquired:
Ability of creative thinking within the individually assigned machine design task with the possibility to apply his / her original solution to the problem.
Ability to use design methodology in designing a machine unit, including task assignment, information collection, variant design, optimal design, component and assembly drawing, list of items and with technical report.
Knowledge of CAD support in the field of computational tools for the design dimensions of standard machine components.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
