Course detail

Team Project

FSI-ZKPAcad. year: 2013/2014

This course provides students an opportunity to address engineering projects using the knowledge gained in bachelor studies and in block-courses taught in graduate studies. The aim of this course type is to enable students to gain practical experience during solution of the project on the basis of teamwork, as it happens in practice.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

After passing the course, students will gain experience with teamwork, improve the presentation and communication skills and will be able to solve engineering problems in teams. The projects enable students to appropriately apply the knowledge gained during the block teaching prerequisites at the beginning of the semester. During solution of the project will also come up much closer contact between students and academics.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of: Strength of Materials I; Strength of Materials II, Tribology; Parametric Modeling - Inventor, Catia, Rhinoceros; Finite Element Method - ANSYS Classic; Measurement and Experiment

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Credit will be given for submission of four fully developed projects in digital and printed form. A necessary condition is regular attendance at classes. In the digital format shall be delivered: 1- CAD data (for construction projects), 2- technical report or final report, 3- drawings (if required by assignment), 4- poster in PPTX format and PDF format for printing, 5 presentation in PPTX format. In paper form will be delivered: 1- technical or final report, Exam will be awarded on the basis of presentation and successful defense. Final mark is the average of marks awarded by teachers during defense of the project.

Aims

The goal is to enable students to gain experience on the work of four assigned engineering projects. The course provides sufficient number of hours recommended to manage problems and challenges in the field of virtual design, tribology, diagnostics, and measurement and computer aid.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Participation in the exercises is obligatory and is controlled by the teacher. Absences can be compensated in exceptional cases and for serious reasons by mutual consent with course supervisor. Maximum of two excused absence without compensation are allowed.
