Mastering knowledge in the filed of analysis and mechanism synthesis, additional advancement of optimization procedure implementation.

Enabling students for selection and realization of appropriate analysis procedures and synthesis as an optimization method in mechanism designing in practical problems.

Theoretical lectures: Complex flat mechanisms analysis, Analysis of complex spacial mechanisms, Complex mechanisms synthesis (structural synthesis, Dimensional synthesis for kinematic requirements, Dimensional synthesis for dynamic requirements), Optimal mechanism synthesis (Optimization problem formulation in the TmiM field, Goal functin definition and limitations in mechanism optimization problems, Optimization problem solutions in the TmiM field. Study and research work: Project for solving an actual problem. Collecting and studying literature, professional journals and other available information necessary for solving project problems.Sofwares necessary for solving project problems (MATLAB, CATIA, and others).

Lectures, independent study and research work, consultations. Lectures are held in combined way. Theoretical part is presented in lectures and it is followed by appropriate exampled contributing easier understanding of the subject content. Students expand knowledge through study and research work, studying of scientific journals and other literature. In cooperation with professor, student is enabled or independently write scientific papers.
