Labs
Familiarise yourself with the Smath interface and complete all your calculations and assignments in this system.
Acquired competences
Knowledge
have the knowledge about manufacturability have the knowledge about compatibility
Skills
know certain CAD softwares on a level to be able to make assemblies
Attitude
collaborate with the instructor and fellow students in the development of knowledge, expands his/her knowledge through continuous learning, is open to the use of information technology tools, strives to solve problems accurately and without errors.
Autonomy and responsibilities
independently think through design problems and/or problems to be solved for simple mechanical structures and solve them on the basis of given sources, integrating and using knowledge acquired previously or in parallel in other subjects, is open to reasoned critical comments, applies a systematic and complex approach (taking into account as many aspects as possible) in his/her thinking, carries out his/her work with the responsibility and conscientiousness of a (future) engineer.
Requirements, evaluation and grading
Mid-term study requirements
During the semester, the level of knowledge acquired will be tested by writing 3 20 point and 2 20 point assignments. At least half (10 points) of the points obtained in each section must be achieved, and in the case of an unsuccessful exam, a make-up exam will be given.
Exam requirements
The final exam can be written by a student who has completed the submission of the design assignment to an acceptable level by the deadline.
Generative AI usage
1st position: Use of GAI tools is not permitted for solving assignments. This means GAI tools cannot be used to complete formative or summative assessments, and using GAI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for spelling and grammar checking does not fall under this prohibition.
Study aids, laboratory background
CAD laboratory with electronic manuals and online support materials for the current CAD software.
