Lectures are realized interactively through lectures, laboratory and computer practical classes. In lectures theoretical part is presented with characteristic examples for better understanding of subject content. Certain types of tools for plastic processing are studied in detail, and guidelines for their design and construction are given. Acquired knowledge is practically applied in laboratory practical classes by the application of available laboratory equipment. Computer exercises comprise the use of information and communication technologies for gaining knowledge and practical skills in the field of study. Apart from lectures and practical classes, consultations are held regularly.
