Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students select a specific type of teaching units from these options:
2D programs - basics of the chosen CAD system, creating and printing drawings.
3D programs - suitable only for students with knowledge of a program for creating drawings - 3D models in selected program, a graphical output - visualization.
The main goal of this subject is, that the student will be able to create 2D drawings according to the standards of ČSN 013420, or visualisation of 3D model from 2D drawings.

Prerequisites

Czech standard ČSN 013420, basic computer knowledge using Microsoft Windows

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The lectures are in form of live presentation of individual softwares, as taught in exercises. General or specific discussion about the individual software follows after the presentation.
During the exercises, basics or advanced training of individual software (as based on the initial selection of the student) takes place. Students draw two individual drawings or create 3D model of selected building during the semester.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

- attendance at exercises
- creation of two digital drawings according to czech standarts and printout of these drawings
- in case of studying of 3D modelling techniques visualisation of 3 or 4 views of chosen building
