Course content
Mechanical engineering as a part of technical sciences at elementary school according to RVP (basic concepts, history, development) Engineering in the Pilsen region Division of engineering production - energy machines, production machines (automation options), transport machines and equipment Technical preparation of production and its breakdown Stand and equipment production technology (machining, forming, casting, welding and unconventional technological methods) Welding - Pressure welding - resistance welding, fusion, flame, arc and electroslag welding, plasma, electron, ultrasonic and laser welding, weldability of steels and alloys, Schaffler diagram Soldering, solders and fluxes, flame soldering technology. Models of processes and machinery in education. Creation and methodology of the lesson using machine tools and their models. Application of process models in an educational project. Methodology of school pupils' field trip to the factory. Work safety when working on machines in school workshops. Division and characteristics of machine components, didactic model of the machine and its production. Removable and fixed connections, tools for assembly and disassembly. Connecting parts for dismountable connections Transmissions and gearboxes, didactic model (Mercury, Lego) - analysis Couplings, production of two-shaft coupling, flexible coupling. Speed control and flywheels Kinematic mechanisms and their physical and software models Increasing the service life of machine components, overhaul. A technical perspective on solving a design problem, Comparison of engineering production for different types of production with regard to conditions in the Czech Republic Design and production of a didactic model of a machine or its part Demonstration kit - Parts of mechanisms, machines and systems, Fischertechnik
