Course detail
CAD Application in Technologies
FSI-EACAcad. year: 2025/2026
The course is intended to widen and deepen the knowledge of design and engineering technology. The fundamentals of design made in CAD systems are applied to simple examples of machine parts. Emphasis is placed on mastering the application of computer technology when modelling in 3D systems.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The exam tests student's theoretical and practical knowledge of computer technology and its application to the construction modelling used in machining technology. The practical part of the exam reflects student's ability to create a model in CAD systems.
Individual assignments and result checking.
Aims
Students will have an overview of engineering technology, computer technology systems and their classification. They will master the techniques and will acquire the knowledge related to the use of computer technology in the field of engineering production. The course will teach them how to create the models of technological processes and will help of computer technology and will familiarise them with the methodology of work with CAD systems.
Study aids
Study aids are available through the BUT disc and Elearning.
