Manufacturing Technology I (FSI-2VT)

Academic year 2025/2026
Supervisor: Ing. Michaela Císařová, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚST all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:

The subject Production Technology I would enable the students to try practice some operations of single technologies on the base of which they would continue theoretical knowlege during theier next bachelor of general type of study.

 

Students are acquainted with presented technologies and they acquire manual skills when doing single operations, which they use during their further studies when preparing experiments.
Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:

Knowledge of technological courses of the 1st year of study.
