Mastering the necessary knowledge in the field of Synthesis mechanisms. Recognition with the methods of synthesizing mechanisms and their application according to the appropriate technological requirement that mechanism, the machine should perform.

By mastering the study program, the following subject-specific abilities are acquired: understanding the problems from Theory of Mechanisms and Machines; solving concrete problems using scientific methods and using adequate software.

Development of machine science. The fundamental concept of mechanisms. Kinematic modeling. Typical, numerous and dimensional synthesis. Coupling points and their use in machines. Synthesis in infinitely close positions. Euler-Savari equation. Cuban curves steady curves. Using synthesis in infinitely close positions in engineering practice. Geometric methods of synthesis for two and three exact points. Fundamentals and Burmaster theories of synthesis at four exact points. Algebraic synthesis methods using complex numbers. Nonlinear programming methods and their application in synthesis mechanisms.

Preparation for independent research of written literature, professional journals and websites in the field of application of synthesis mechanisms. Preparation of seminar work and project for concrete examples of synthesis of mechanisms using the SolidWorks software package.
