Course objectives:
|
The course aims to provide students with interdisciplinary knowledge to achieve the required crucial properties (Design for X - DfX) and their soon prediction (Prediction of X - PoX) for evaluation of the achieved properties during designing of technical products. On principles of a selected knowledge from the theory of technical systems and a complementary design methodology the previous education will be completed and generalized in the final of bachelor's study .
