Informatics Students work with MS Office - MS

Word, MS Excel as a spreadsheet editor and MS PowerPoint as a presentation program 

Students work with vector graphics using Zoner Callisto,

Students programmed using Imagine software,

Students create an animation in the program LogoMotion.

Transport geography

students seeking information about road traffic, vehicles, technical base (ports, terminals, airports, transport hubs), public transport, timetables,

students seeking information about the countries, geographical and economic  data, but mostly information about the most important modes of transport -road, rail, water, air, pipeline and urban

Technical drawing

students draw manufacturing components and complete the drawing title block in AutoCAD graphics program (planar view in 2D)

students draw simple elements using the model (perspective view in called 3D)

students prescribe the size, tolerance and surface roughness of manufacturing part and develop complete manufacturing drawing

Machine parts Students in a graphics

program AUTOCAD create manufacturing drawings of parts of pulleys and gears,

Students used the space program  ProDesktop to see these parts.

Graphic systems

Students use the program INVENTOR and modeled  spatial patterns of components,

Students simulate parts of the plate, creating welded assemblies,

Students from the developed models generate productiondrawings.

Road transport students seek transport route using the R

OUTE 66 seek current information on the website of

the Ministry of Transport and Regional Transport Authorities,

work with laws and regulations in road transport.

Road vehicles Students using the internet for:1. seeking news, pictures, animation and videos 2. homework assistance Teacher using the interner for:1. assigning tasks, 2. testing knowledge’s, 3. communication with students

Teacher is using the computer and video-projector for examining functions of road vehicle parts and redrawing pictures.

Students work with MS Excel(calculation) anf MS PowerPoint(report writing)

Accounting

taught in hourly subsidy 2 lessons per week, 1 lesson training takes place in the classroom,

where students learn to work with accounting software POHODA by Stormware company,

students on theoretical lesson gain the theoretical knowledge of basic accounting procedures, which are then applied to the use of economic agendas in software POHODA.

Accounting order to work with accounting software is that the student

has acquired skills in accounting the agenda of "accounting", issue cash vouchers in the agenda "Cash on hand" to issue invoices in agenda "Supplier and customer invoices" and with agenda „Internal documents" book the internal operations of the company,

students record a contra entry for over two years in a common fictional company named after the class and group, which is administered by the accounting transactions entered by teacher.

Waste management Students use the Internet to search

for new and current knowledges in the field of environmental education and legislation addressing in the handling of waste,

Students present their projects, which are used for testing of multiple choice tests.

Administration and correspondence in I. grade students use

the program ATF (All the fingers) to manage tenfinger method of writing on the computer keyboard

in II. grade students are working in a text editor and prepare the official and business letters (demand, supply, order, claim, invitation, request) in Slovak, English and German

Administration and correspondence students should handle Slovak Technical Norms

(STN 01 6910), students should apply gained knowledge from

other subjects, mainly from slovak language, economy or computer science,

in writing out written documents for foreign business partners students should also use knowledge from foreign languages,

students should use knowledge and skills from computer science and also they should rationalize work in writing out documents by computers.

Information systems in transport

students evaluate the work of drivers, which is recorded on the driver card or on the tachograph disc using Targa software

students work with a program to produce a timetabled public transport routes,

students create a database in MS Access, students create 2D and 3D views of

components in a graphics program Autodesk Inventor.
