To enable students to be included into professional courses and acquiring basic knowledge in the area of graphic engineering and design.

Acquired knowledge is used in further education and in the development of knowledge in professional courses.

Graphic technologies, basic notions, classifications. Historical development. Development of writing, writing substrates and writing means. Phases in graphic production, mechanization and automation of graphic processes. Prepress graphic production. Manufacture of setting, hand-made and machine setting. Photo and computer setting. Text and image preparation and processing. Basic graphic production. Materials in graphic industry. Reproduction fundamentals. Quality control. Ergonomics. Environmental protection. Basic mechanical principles of printing. Printing forms, basic notions. Postpress and finishing.

Teaching is performed by using the contemporary didactic means and methods, interactively in the form of lectures, computer and laboratory practice. At lectures, theoretical content is presented and accompanied by examples and solution simulations for better understanding of the content matter. Computer practice is organized as complementary to the skills of graphic technologies, while laboratory practice is for practical application of the acquired knowledge on the available laboratory equipment. Apart from lectures and practice, consultations are held regularly.
