Acquired competences:
Knowledge:

- Have a comprehensive knowledge of the basic facts, directions and limits of the subject area of engineering. - Knowledge of the general and specific mechanical principles, rules, contexts and procedures necessary for the operation of the field of engineering. - Knowledge of the terminology, the most important relationships and theories related to the field. - Comprehensive knowledge of the main theories and problem-solving methods in the field.

Skills:

- He/She is able to recognize and apply the processes learned in the previous subjects (Mechanics, Materials, Machine Elements) and to apply them (stiffness calculations, dimensioning, material processes, etc.) to the machine tool system. - Ability to use simulation techniques to analyse technological processes (including economic characteristics), to select machine tools and their application in industry.

Attitude:

- He/She is open to learning about, adopting and authentically communicating professional, technological development and innovation in the field of engineering. - He/She strives to make self-learning a means to achieve its professional goals. - Strives to solve problems, preferably in cooperation with others. - He/she shall strive to make his/her self-learning in mechanical engineering continuous and consistent with his/her professional goals. - He/she strives to solve problems and make management decisions by listening to the opinions of his/her colleagues, preferably in cooperation. - Have the stamina and tolerance of monotony required to carry out practical activities.

Autonomy and responsibilities:

- In unexpected decision situations, he/she independently thinks through and develops comprehensive, substantiating professional questions on the basis of given sources. - Responsibly upholds and represents the values of the engineering profession and is open to professionally informed critical comment. - In the performance of his/her professional duties, he/she will cooperate with qualified professionals from other disciplines (primarily technical, economic and legal). - Identify shortcomings in the technologies used, process risks and take the initiative to mitigate them. - He/she is responsible for the consequences of his/her technical analyses, the proposals he/she makes and the decisions he/she takes.

Additional professional competences:

Requirements, evaluation, grading:
Mid-term study requirements:
During the semester, a closed paper will be written. These must be completed separately to at least 50%. The time and location of the closed session will be agreed with the students during the semester by the instructors of the subject (the paper writing are expected to be in the 6th and 11th weeks). During the semester, one assignment must be submitted (electronically coordinated with the instructor), which must be completed with at least 50%. Starting with the second absence, 5%-5% will be deducted for each absence from both the ZH and the assignments.
