Summary
The course is intended for students of the bachelor's study program "Mechanical Engineering". The content of the course is focused on explaining the issues of creating technical documentation, including the practical processing of various types of documentation according to the needs of individual fields.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to explain to students of bachelor's studies the meaning and function of technical documentation. Students will get acquainted with various forms of documentation during the product life cycle, from studies, projects to implementation documentation, needed for the implementation of new technical systems, repairs and maintenance of existing ones. They will also be acquainted with the legislative conditions for the creation of various forms of documentation. They will be able not only to create various types of technical documentation, but also to use available types of documentation to obtain information for mechanical design and project creation. In the seminars, students will learn the procedures of creating drawing documentation in a CAD system.
