Adjustments of technical documentation prepared by students for building a product prototype

Experience shows that technical documentation prepared by students usually does not satisfy the requirements needed to build a product prototype or an actual product, which is ready to be tested and used afterwards. Therefore, despite the fact that the evaluated student project tasks are often graded as excellent ones, and sometimes also rewarded, they have to be reexamined thoroughly and adjusted significantly before they are ready to be used. The paper presents the necessary adjustments that were performed on the technical documentation, which deals with the mechanics of one specific developed product. The developed product, which represents a winning student project, was a mechatronic device that was suitable for exhibition purposes. The product was developed in the context of the competition organized by a company, which produces DC motors and corresponding components. In the paper the modification process is presented, starting with the presentation and analysis of the winning project, followed by the description of performed
