⇑Why choose the Virtual Prototyping specialisation at UJD?

Dlaczego warto studiować na UJD
Why study it:

Virtual Prototyping is a specialisation in the Innovative Technologies and Advanced Materials programme (first-cycle engineering studies, offered in both the English and the Polish version) at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa. It suits you if you want to see a product on screen, test it in a simulation and only then make it.

Programme: six courses of the specialisation

The specialisation block is built around:

  • computational fluid dynamics, taught on engineering flow problems;
  • numerical methods in mechanics, including the finite element method;
  • computer-aided manufacturing and CNC machine programming;
  • prototyping with 3D printing technology;
  • computer simulations in engineering applications;
  • reverse engineering.

Specialisation: from a virtual model to a real part

The path follows the way a product is developed. You build a virtual 3D model, simulate its behaviour in real operating conditions and compare several design variants without producing a single physical prototype. The last step is manufacturing on a numerically controlled machine or printing the part in 3D. The other specialisation of the programme, Sustainable Energy Technologies, turns to energy instead of product design, and you choose between them after the second semester.

Labs: software and equipment you work with

Tools used in classes

  • Fluid flowAnsys Fluent and CFD Post, from geometry and mesh to analysis of results
  • SimulationsSolidWorks Simulation, Flow Simulation and Plastics modules
  • CNCprogramming exercises on simulators of the Haas control system
  • Scanninga 3D scanner using structured LED light

Placements: internships in the plan

Professional internships are a regular part of the study plan, which belongs to a practical, dual-study programme prepared together with employers.

After graduation: where the specialisation leads

Graduates have the knowledge and skills needed in companies and departments that design and implement products, and in preparing machining processes on advanced numerically controlled machines and 3D printers.

Based on the study plan and the UJD admissions pages.

10 questions · two minutes

1. Before a new car part is made, engineers test it on a computer. How do you feel about that?

2. How do you feel about designing objects in 3D CAD software?

3. A simulation shows your bracket design will crack under load. What do you do?

4. How do you feel about maths and physics – forces, vibrations, heat transfer?

5. Which task would you pick?

6. How do you feel about checking a virtual model against a real 3D-printed prototype in the lab?

7. The programme is taught in English, and you’ll work in project teams with students from many countries. What do you think?

8. Your team must present a virtual prototype to a client who isn’t an engineer. How do you react?

9. Which future job sounds most like you?

10. What motivates you most to study Virtual Prototyping?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Virtual
An item may sometimes be described as being a virtual item when it is a representation or non-tangible abstraction of the physical object, or is a functional emulation or simulation of it.
