Fundamentals of Manufacturing Technologies (FSI-0ZT)

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

The aim of the course is to introduce students to basic technologies and their applicability in the production of machine parts in various fields. Emphasis is placed on linking the economic aspects of production with the design of the component and assessing the suitability of the technologies used for a given production run. One of the objectives is also to support design activities in terms of assessing production possibilities and designing components for the chosen technology.
Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:

Students are expected to have the knowledge acquired at secondary school.
Course contents:

The course introduces the student to basic production technologies for the manufacture of machine parts. The focus is on modern serial and piece production. The technologies are presented in terms of their continuity and applicability in terms of mass production and economic efficiency of production. Specific tasks presented on available equipment are also presented.In particular, machining, forming, welding, foundry technologies and additive manufacturing are discussed. The course is especially intended for students of construction directions.
Teaching methods and criteria:
 
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

The course is completed with classified credit. Participation in the exercises is a condition for the award of classified credit. The classification also includes an assessment of the specific outcomes of the exercises and the final test.

Obligatory attendance in the lessons. An absence can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another group, or by elaboration of substitute tasks. A longer absence may be compensated for via special tasks by the agreement with the teacher.
Controlled participation in lessons:
