PRACTICAL TEACHING (Syllabus):
Practical teaching consists of auditorial exercises, laboratoy work, seminar work and consultations. It embraces the following units: 1. One auditorial exercise: Resources for studying machine tools. 2. Four laboratory exercises: (1) Handling and manual operating of machine tools and handling of measuring equipment in the Laboratory for machine tools. (2) Identification of the main factors in deformation processing. (3) Machine tools testing. (4) Control and programming of machine tools. Instructions for work are given for each exercise, while forms and reports making are prepared beforehand. 3. One seminar work is done about control and programming of machine tools. 4. One consultation. A report on acquired knowledge of machine tools is prepared in parallel. Knowledge ckeck comprises: two tests, three colloquiums and final examination.
