Lectures

Goal

The student gains practical experience and gets familiarized with the future occupational environment. The student identifies basic functions of the business system in the domain of design, development, and manufacturing as well as the role and tasks of the mechanical engineer within such a business system.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to: (1) Apply practical experience on the organization and functioning of the business environment in which they will apply the acquired knowledge in their future professional career. (2) Students can identify the models of communication with the colleagues and business information flow. (3) Solve basic processes in the design, manufacturing, maintenance within the context of their future competences. (4) Establish of contacts and acquaintances are useful during graduate studies as well as for applying for the job in the future. (5) Prepare by Report professional practice upon on the completed tasks in given topics.

Theoretical teaching

This professional practice M PRO has no lectures. Students use the knowledge acquired during their studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.

Practical teaching

Practical teaching means work in the companies where various activities related to mechanical engineering are proceeding. The subject matter and business company or research institution is selected in consultation with the professor. In principle, the student is allowed to conduct skill praxis in manufacturing companies, design and consulting firms, enterprises for machine equipment maintenance, public enterprises and municipal service companies or any laboratory at FME. Skill praxis can also be performed abroad. Students are obliged to keep a diary of skill praxis, where they describe the jobs they are doing, write down deductions and perceptions. Having completed the skill praxis the students must make a report they will defend in front of the professor. The report is handed over in the form of a seminar work.
