Course objectives
Design and design focuses on construction, assembly and dismantling. The content of the course is familiar with constructional, electrotechnical, electronic and robotic constructions. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles of bridge construction. Introduction to the basics of bridge architecture - girder, lattice structure, etc., and their use in practice (bridge construction) and basic schools (bridge models).
For a better understanding of design and design issues, it is possible to use ICT resources for practice-oriented teaching and appropriate didactic and computer games with a focus on design.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- describe construction, assembly and disassembly;
- Understand the principles of design, electrical, electronic and robotic construction;
- describe the trends in architecture and bridge structures - the history of bridges;
- explain the principle of bridge construction - beam, lattice structure, etc .;
- use ICT, didactic and computer games with a focus on designing;
