Course content
The subject concerns the design of a technology procedure document. Technological procedure means a sequence of technological operations that aim to fulfil the requirements of the design documentation and are appropriately sequenced with regard to their specific conditions and impacts on the workpiece, including side effects but also including impacts outside the product, such as economic, environmental or social impacts. 1) Technological and ecological design 2) Technological processes of rotating components 3) Technologies for the production of rotating components and their ecological and other impacts 4) Methodologies for the development of rotating component manufacturing processes 5) Non-rotating component manufacturing processes 6) Technologies for the manufacture of non-rotating components and their environmental and other impacts 7) Methodologies for the development of non-rotating component manufacturing processes 8) Technological procedures for 3D printing 9) Technologies for the production of printed components and their environmental and other impacts 10) Methodologies for the development of the production process of printed components 11) Designing assembly processes 12) A general view of engineering manufacturing issues, including environmental considerations 13) Consultation on topics of concern to students

learning outcomes
Knowledge
To describe what is the technological process, what are its uses, what are its types and forms, what are its requirements, what are its formal requirements and how its detail is different in terms of production volume
To name the features characteristic of piece ("job shop"), batch ("batch") and mass ("continuous") production
To describe the structure of the process for operations, sections, actions and movements
To explain the meaning of the terms: production, production process, production system, production profile, production program, production item, production source, workplace, production unit, production batch
To name the main properties of the elements of machine components that need to be ensured by manufacturing
Skills
To create unambiguous designations for individual component elements, by which the element can be safely and quickly identified on the drawing
To choose the appropriate process method, production means and process parameters to meet each requirement on the production drawing
To make such sequence of the resulting technological process of the technological methods that all requirements on the production drawing are met, taking into account the qualitative outputs and side effects of each method
To prepare technological process sheets for specified components in accordance with process flow requirements.

Project
The ability to work independently is shown mainly in the semester project, but to a limited extent it can also be demonstrated in the exam. The ability to explain the essence of a problem is tested in the examination. These competences are necessary to pass both the project and the examination, but they may not all be applicable to every student.
