І. Short Course presentation

II. Course Objectives The course Basic of Constructing is common engineering subject with main objectives: 1. A system of theoretical knowledge about common used elements and mechanisms to be mastered by students. 2. Technical skills and abilities to be created for solving practical problems in Machinery. 3. An approach for complex constructing of technical appliances and elements to be mastered.

III. Annotation This course offers opportunities for development and to extend the engineering knowledge given during the previous common educational and technical training courses like physics, chemistry, material strength, mechanics, engineering drawing etc. Students obtain and master knowledge and skills for using and applying engineering approaches for solving a wide circle of technical problems.

III. Annotation Basic criteria for design and workability, geometrical requirements for this workability realization are studied during the course. Wide spread in practice machines and machine details, like gears, axes, shafts, joints and connectors are investigated. The knowledge obtained is used for self dependant training by constructing of technical construction. During this training students work independent and have effective professional dialog with machine specialists.

IV.Methodical Recommendations. Lectures The basic training forms are lecturers, workshops, seminars and training project/assignment. By the lectures the basic theoretical characteristics and constructive features of the machine elements and mechanisms and their application in machinery are investigated. The lectures are supported by special photos, schemes, animation in order a wide variety of existing constructions to be presented.

IV.Methodical Recommendations. Workshops By the workshops students practically investigate machine elements and constructions. They have direct contact with the object of investigation and during the workshops students confirm/make assure the correspondence between theoretical expressions and actual results. Students obtain certain manual skills to work with machines and to use computer equipment for measurement purpose as well.

IV. Methodical Recommendations. Seminars A few theoretical problems are investigated during the seminars. The objectives for investigations are connected to the project that students should prepare self independent. Students work together with machine specialist.

IV. Methodical Recommendations. Training project Every student obtains individual assignment for training project in the semester beginning. Common consultations is given to all student in beginning about the way and sequences of work, literature, final results expected and criteria for evaluation. During the students work self dependant and present their results with a lecturer/machine specialist. At the end of semester the lecturer make the training project evaluation.

IV. Methodical Recommendations. Final. The subject is ……(?)……. Semester. The course ends by theoretical exam/test. The final score is calculated on the base the results that students have during the entire training including the training project.
