prerequisite
Knowledge
Očekává se znalost vektorového počtu v 2D a 3D, práce s PC - vektorová grafika, základní vědomosti o konstrukčních materiálech a jejich vlastnostech. Dále by studenti měli ovládat základní činnosti v softwarovém prostředí s vektorovou grafikou pro 3D modelování a konstrukci z oblasti mechanické struktury strojů a souvislostí mechanických uspořádání a řízení pohybu.
