Acquisition of knowledge about contemporary approaches in fixtures design. Development of scientific capabilities, academic and practical skills in the domain of automated fixtures design. Achieving the ability to use information and communication technologies in the processes of unification, classification and automation fixtures design.

Advanced knowledge of fixtures design. Ability to independently solve practical and theoretical problems with the use of scientific methods and procedures in the field of computer aided fixtures design. Mastering creativity with the goal of developing new procedures and technologies in the field of automated fixtures design. Developing creative and independent judgment of problems in the field of selection and design of fixtures.

Interdisciplinary character of fixtures design. System approach in fixtures design. Construction of fixtures. Contemporary materials for making fixtures elements. Rational production, exploitation and maintenance of fixtures. Methods of fixtures design. Mathematical formulation and numerical simulations in the fixtures design processes. Indicators and methods of assessment of the quality of fixtures. Unification of fixtures. Standardization of fixtures. Economic calculation of the fixtures construction. Optimizing the fixtures construction. Fixtures databases. Automated fixtures design. Application of artificial intelligence in the development of a system for fixtures design.

Lectures, study research work and consultations. The lectures provide a theoretical part of the material using modern equipment and information and communication technologies. Through lectures, a student acquires and mastered contemporary scientific knowledge, scientific methods and procedures that enable him to become independent research work. In addition to lectures, consultations are also held regularly. Study research work includes all forms of teaching that are in the function of directly training a student for research, writing scientific papers and making a doctoral dissertation. Study research work includes active monitoring of primary scientific sources, organization and execution of numerical simulations and experimental research.
