Summary of the Profile

General Description: Objective(s) of a study programme: To provide interdisciplinary, research-based and art-based theoretical and practical knowledge of production engineering and industrial design, and develop the skills to apply it creatively in the design and development of products that meet the needs of consumers, taking into account the principles of a circular economy. Learning outcomes:

Knowledge and its Application: A1 Is able to describe the natural science and mathematical concepts and principles necessary to comprehend the fundamental foundations of the field of study. A2 Is able to apply principles of industrial design engineering, correlating product design features, material types, construction, and design principles, as well as manufacturing technologies. A3 Is able to use methods from art and other research fields to create objects in manufacturing engineering. Special (engineering analysis and design) Skills: B1 Is able to apply engineering analysis methods, including mathematical analysis, computational modelling, and practical experiments, to solve engineering problems. B2 Is able to creatively apply knowledge and understanding of manufacturing engineering and design in creating products, considering artistic, technical, social, health, safety, environmental, commercial, and other defined requirements. B3 Is able to apply knowledge to define manufacturing engineering problems related to sustainable product development and to select and implement possible engineering solutions. B4 Is able to apply engineering design methods in practical activities, considering design, cost, materials, manufacturing technologies, and principles of circular economy. B5 Is able to analyse general engineering and design challenges, considering social, health and safety, environmental, and commercial constraints.

B6 Is able to analyse the design features of newly created or enhanced products and anticipate their design implementation strategy. Research Skills and Practical Activities: C1 Is able to proficiently use databases and other informational sources to formulate goals and tasks for industrial design engineering projects. C2 Is able to explain the principles of production activity organization, the importance of occupational safety, and the fundamental requirements. C3 Is able to conduct applied research to address tasks in industrial design engineering. C4 Is able to relate theory and practice to address challenges in industrial design engineering; C5 Is able to apply appropriate manual and computer-aided graphical representation and 3D modeling methods to present information and implement engineering and design ideas. Personal (decision-making, lifelong learning, cooperation and teamwork) Skills: D1 Is able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team to achieve common goals. D2 Is able to use of written, verbal, and non-verbal communication, in both the native and at least one foreign language with the engineering community and the general public. D3 Is able to describe the impact of engineering activities on society and the environment. D4 Is able to independently and flexibly apply knowledge towards personal goals throughout their professional career. D5 Is able to apply project management practices. Additional Knowledge and Skills: E1 Is able to creatively apply appropriate methods, tools, and equipment to create sustainable products that satisfy consumer needs. E2 Is able to apply fundamental concepts, phenomena, and principles of philosophy, information technology, materials science, engineering mechanics, mechatronics, design, business, and socio-economic environment awareness. E3 Is able to use engineering and software tools, as well as research methods, to identify phenomena, properties of materials and products, explain obtained results and causal relationships, and present conclusions. Activities of teaching and learning: The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, consultation seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence. The study methods of active learning, such as design (programming), design thinking, challenge-based learning, creative workshops, group work, experiential learning, discussion, problem-based learning, reflective learning, idea (mind) mapping, etc. are applied to encourage the active participation and creativity of students in the study process. The achievements are assessed using the traditional assessment methods, such as laboratory examination, assignments, laboratory or project report, as well as other methods: work or competency file (portfolio), problem-solving task, engineering project, reflection on action, self-assessment, etc.

Methods of assessment of learning achievements: The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components). The number of intermediate assessments and their expression in percentage are chosen by the study module’s coordinating lecturer. Besides the usual forms of assessment (for example, examination, oral presentation, project report, laboratory examination), an additional form of assessment “Assessment of student activity (level)” may be applied (up to 10% of the final grade) for the assessment of the student’s preparation for case analysis, an active discussion, participation in debates, etc. Framework: Study subjects (modules), practical training: AI based design, Applied Materials Science, Bachelor’s Degree Final Project, Basics of Three-Dimensional Design, Bionics and Biomimicry in Design, Computer-Aided Design, Culture of Modern Design, Design Fundamentals, Design Workshop, Engineering Analysis and Optimal Design, Engineering Graphics, Engineering Mechanics, Ergonomics and Human Factors, Fundamentals of Digital Manufacturing and Mechatronics, Fundamentals of Mechanical Systems Design, Information Technologies for Engineers, Introduction to Speciality, Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, Methods of Prototyping, Physics 1, Product Design, Product Design Studio Project, Product Development Project, Professional Internship, Project Management, Semester Project, Sketching fundamentals, Technical Creativity and Intellectual Property, Technologies for Industrial Design, Theory of Probability and Statistics, Three-dimensional Animation, Three-Dimensional Visualisation and Animation.
