Subject syllabus

Lectures:

- Technical standardization, accreditation, and harmonization of standards; purpose and types of standards; preferred numbers and numerical series.
- Drawing formats, scales, fundamentals of representation, axonometry and orthographic projection, dimensioning on technical drawings.
- Representation of sections and cross-sections, partial sections, broken-out views, details, intersections, view simplification, specification of materials and semi-finished products, representation of mechanical components (threads, screws, nuts, etc.).
- Component surface quality, roughness, surface treatments, heat treatment, material specifications, dimensional and geometric accuracy, ISO tolerance system (fits, common-hole and common-shaft systems).
- General rules for preparing technical documentation, formatting text documents, technical reports, citations.
- Technical documentation in construction (elevation and coordinate systems; representation of structural openings, structures, and materials).
- Electrical schematics – classification by drawing method and purpose, component identification and representation methods, graphic symbols.
- Standards and documentation for printed circuit board (PCB) design.
- Standards for the design and documentation of electrical installation schematics (power and low-voltage distribution, electrical connections, installation and protection zones, etc.) and structured cabling systems and fiber-optic routes.
- Computer-aided preparation of technical documentation (selected software tools: AutoCAD, Eplan, and Fusion).
- Practical case studies: Preparation of manufacturing data in AutoCAD and use of configurators, 3D modeling and prototyping (Fusion 360), modeling custom PCB enclosures, tolerances for 3D printing (FDM/SLA), snap-fit ​​joints and slicer exports, single-line diagrams, sizing of electrical supply lines and circuit protection, Schneider eDesign / Eaton E-Config configurators, data for electrical switchboard manufacturing and industrial automation.
- Complete project in EPLAN: Master data, Data Portal (WAGO, Siemens, IFM), automatic report generation.
