Learning outcomes of course unit

The students are able to:
• Read standard-compliant workpiece drawings and correctly interpret display and dimension details.
• Create basic part drawings of simple bodies manually.
• Independently extract information from table books and apply it to their own drawing representations.
• Independently present machine elements in accordance with the applicable standards.
• Model 3D models based on 2D representations of different machine components.
• Configure a functional assembly from self-constructed components and parts from standard parts libraries.
• Use 3D CAD software in such a way that they can carry out complete design projects.
• Generate production-ready 2D drawing derivations.
