Special programs for machine-building production

Description: The discipline is intended for undergraduates who are interested in a deeper study of software and specialized software tools used in machine-building production. Within the framework of this discipline, undergraduates study special programs for design, modeling, simulation and process control in mechanical engineering. They get acquainted with modern software development methods for engineering applications, practical skills in working with CAD/CAM/CAE systems, as well as an understanding of the principles of virtual product design and testing. The course allows undergraduates to master the tools necessary to create innovative machines and technologies, as well as improve their skills in the field of programming and software development for mechanical engineering.

Teaching methods

Study, ability and solution of the main tasks in programming on CNC machines and processing centers

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
