Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students gain knowledge about types of 3D object and possible ways of modelling. They master basic as well as advanced modelling technics. They are able to do the basic vizualization.

Prerequisites

Modeling in 2D in CAD systems

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Condition of adequate attendance (max two absences). Final individual model with vizualization, presentation and simple documentation.
