Simultaneous Engineering (FSI-9SIN)

Academic year 2022/2023
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Milan Horáček, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚST all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
The course familiarises students with basic principles of new philosophy
cooperation customer-supplier based on the teamwork approach
from the first idea up to the final realisation of the product.
The main aim is to provide students with knowledge
of the latest communication possibilities between a customer and supplier,
as well as with possible ways of an effective cooperation using the rapid
prototyping methods,computer-aided simulation and the like.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Knowledge of a multimedia communication , rapid prototyping
using simulation programs,etc.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of a foundry technology, especially with respect to an optimal foundry casting design.Knowledge of rapid prototyping methods and basic computer simulation methods used in foundry technology.
Course contents:
Fundamentals of team work. Cooperation between supplier and customer(preparation of a concept of solution, casting design and its prototype, batch production). Multimedia communications. Rapid prototyping (a quick manufacture of a prototype using one of the RP methods, i.e. selective sintering,stereolitography, laminating,etc). Simulation software programs aimed at optimizing the final product (used during casting pouring, solidification and cooling).
Technological characteristics of the design (Designing castings to avoid foundry defects).
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Attendance in lectures is recommended.
Examination : written and oral exam.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Presence in lessons obligatory compensation to be agreed with the lecturer
