Institute of Machine and Industrial Design (ÚK)

The course enables students to acquire knowledge for the creation and analysis of spatial objects, acquaints them with basic techniques and tools for realization of physical models of industrial Plasticine, modelling clay, plaster, HPS and other materials.

Knowledge of perspective, mastered drawing of geometric bodies and orientation in the history of art and design. An advantage is any experience with modelling.

The subject is taught in the form of seminars, which are practically focused on realization of physical models with individual consultations.

Acquiring credit is conditioned by attendance at seminars, submission of given assignments within specified deadlines, and oral defence of given tasks. The final evaluation is counted as the average of evaluation of three projects. The resulting classification is determined by the ECTS scale.
ECTS evaluation degrees / Pts. rating / Numeric rating: A / 100 - 90 / 1 / Excellent; B / 89 - 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 - 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 - 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 - 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 - 0 / 4 / Failed.

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the creation of study models, which is a prerequisite for industrial design practice. Compositions are focused on the essence of shape and its formal and content context. The students are supervised in the scope of general assignment, which abstracts it from functional, technical and other aspects to singular concept of shape solution. The subject develops creative potential in students and supports their ability for formulate an opinion.

Participation in the seminars is compulsory. Seminars are based on weekly schedules. Determining ways to compensate for missed lessons is the responsibility of the supervisor.
