Technical University of Sofia,

COURSE STATUS IN THE CURRICULUM: Compulsory for full-time students of “Mechatronics systems” in English of

the Faculty of Machine Engineering at TU- Sofia required for obtaining Bachelor’s Degree.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: to enable students in using scientific literature and specialized texts, as

well as to enhance their communicative competence adopting culturally appropriate modes of behaviour relevant to the

concrete situation and apply effective compensatory strategies in overcoming communicative problems. The additional

practice of micro and macro language skills are targeted at preparing students for successful participation in international

scientific conferences and symposia, graduate and post-graduate exchange programmes sponsored by the EU or bilateral

agreements with partner universities.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: Foreign language education builds up communicative abilities and competence

allowing students to socialize and function effectively in real-life professional situations. They develop the four language

skills / Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing/ aiming to facilitate their adequate auditory and visual comprehension of

information, offered in a foreign language, as well as their active ability to respond in keep with the stylistics and norms of

multicultural communication. The correlation general to specialized language is 1:2. The modern equipment and facilities of

the Department of Foreign Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics allows the use of up-to-date audio-visual and

technical equipment such as: language labs, VDU, cassette recorders, OHP-s, and computers.

PREREQUISITES: basic knowledge of the language and elementary rules of grammar and basic lexical items and their use,

taught at secondary schools and vocational schools.

TEACHING METHODS: The selection and structuring of syllabus content is carried out by way of an integrated

theoretical-practical communicative approach, taking into consideration the functional needs of students to use the language

competently in cross-cultural and professional medium. Various interactive methods of classroom management are applied,

such as discussions, presentations, case studies, role, theme projects, computer tests in grammar and lexicology on different

proficiency levels, as well as translation of specialized scientific texts. The modular principle of foreign language teaching

allows for a synthesis of a learner-centered seminar work in a given sphere with individual forms of study and self-study.

METHODS OF ASSESSMENT: written tests during the semester, the final exams are administered in the form of standard

EU recognized exit tests on several proficiency levels to estimate the achieved progress and quality of acquired knowledge.

Some specialties request that part of the final assessment includes translation of an abstract from a scientific book in a

subject-specific field from a foreign language into Bulgarian. The final grade is made on the basis of two written tests for the

period of training throughout the semester (an overall of 80%) and active participation in seminars and workshops and

individual presentations (an overall of 20%).

LANGUAGES OF INSTRUCTION: English.

RECOMMENDED TEACHING MATERIALS: A number of course materials and textbooks developed under

European projects and in collaboration with the British Council.

The course is compulsory for the students’ specialty Mechatronic systems within the Bachelor engineering program of the

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, TU Sofia.


Aim of the course is to make mechanical engineering students familiar with methods and devises for design of modern

mechatronic systems.


The course teaches creative methods applicable on every stage of the mechatronic systems design process – from planning

(choice of manufacturing objects) to the final result of the design. The accent lays on creating a conception and designing the

structure of mechatronic systems. Among the points of interest are how to promotion the creative process, how to secure the

optimal functioning of mechatronic systems under consideration of the best achievements in the fields of mechanics,

electronics and informatics. Important issues are the selection of the optimal variant of a mechatronic system in an

environment lacking or providing insufficient information; opportunities for reducing the designing time and costs for

mechatronic products by making them up of separate modules. The course also teaches the cost analysis as a way to optimize

investments.

PREREQUISITES:

The course requires key knowledge obtained from the courses in “Mechanics”, Electronics“, “Machine parts”, “Machine

Theory”, “Electrical Engineering” etc.

TEACHING METHODS:

Lectures supported by slides and PowerPoint applications. Labs are done in accordance with methodical guidelines.


Knowledge assessment includes a written exam towards the end of the 5th

semester. Laboratory work results are also being

considered.

COURSE STATUS IN THE CURRICULUM: Compulsory for the Mechatronic Systems specialty, BEng training course

of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty at the Technical University of Sofia.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: Following course completion the students should have acquired

knowledge on the phases and characteristics of the decision making process and should be able to implement different

methods and techniques of decision making for mechatronic products. They should be familiarized with the product life

cycle management, the used strategies at each cycle phase and the product related project management requirements.


The main topics include: engineering decisions as a cognitive process (cognitive techniques, cognitive and personal biases,

etc.); decision making methods and techniques (heuristic and probabilistic decision making methods, discursive decision

making methods); evolutionary multi-objective decision making; enhancing engineering decision capabilities through virtual

reality (VR); product life cycle: model and development stages; model analysis and examples; implemented strategies during

the product development stages; relation between the product and technological cycle; business context, challenges and

company strategies for mechatronic product development; requirements for successful implementation: coordinating groups;

managing the requirements throughout the life cycle, early testing for problem diagnostics.

PREREQUISITES: Discrete Production Automation and Intelligent Production Systems courses from the preceding

semesters of the same specialty.

TEACHING METHODS: Lectures, using flip chart and video materials; laboratory work in small groups; tasks solution

and case studies; course work.
