Abstract
The paper describes the ongoing educational project, which is focused on increasing the quality of teaching and making the study more attractive by introducing new selective courses: CNC technology in bachelor study programs and programming of CNC technology in engineering study programs at the Faculty of Technology of the Technical University in Zvolen, Slovakia. The solution of the project is also to create a background for building a CNC machining workplace. Teaching programming takes place in professional CNC emulators that are commonly used in praxis. These emulators allow program debugging, tests, trajectory drawing and optimising and collision checking of tool and workpiece. Altogether 23 students successfully completed the introduced course. Within the project solution, five theses were defended.
 Keywords: CNC programming, CNC simulators, teaching, innovation, workplace building.
Highlights
Nowadays, the development of science and technology is under great pressure and is moving very fast
The optional courses of CNC technology and CNC programming were included in the study plans
The workplace preparation for CNC programming began; the laboratory consists of five computer sets, purchasing of CNC machinery
Summary
The development of science and technology is under great pressure and is moving very fast. On students as well as graduates, the universities of technology focus on specific knowledge and knowledge in the professional field and on the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to practice (Dede, 2002; Sujova, Cierna & Zabinska, 2019). A graduate of the technical department with a focus on production technology and engineering of machinery and equipment is expected to be familiar with modern technologies and production machines, as well as with the fundamentals of their programming, from understanding the algorithmic ability of technical problems (Csongrady & Pivarciova, 2006) to applying manufacturing techniques in the form of a program for digital technology using the internet and wireless communications (Monroy, Calderon & Miranda, 2005). Graduates are expected to know reverse engineering (Hrckova, Koleda & Kassai, 2017)
