Aim
The aim of the course is to develop students ability to solve problems independently, to introduce them into independent engineering work through a complex calculation / measurement / planning task. At the beginning of the semester, the student chooses one of the announced tasks (or independently devises a task, which he / she asks a supervisor to solve), which is worked out together with the supervisor in an informal schedule.
Learning outcomes
Competences that can be acquired by completing the course
Knowledge
With the help of the supervisor, the student identifies the main content elements of the job description to be written about a selected segment of the technical field. The student gathers the literature with the help of the knowledge acquired during the training. With the help of his prior knowledge, the studentsystematizes the new knowledge gained during the reading of the literature. The student has the knowledge needed to analyze the literature reviewed. The student is aware of the technical knowledge required to perform the tasks in the job description at the appropriate level. The student has the knowledge to consult effectively with his supervisor. The student systematizes the knowledge acquired during the elaboration of the task. The student interprets the difficulties encountered in developing the task and takes steps to overcome them. The student defines the problems that arise and with the help of the supervisor they determine the direction of the solution. The student identifies the steps required to further develop the task.
Ability
The student correctly interprets the complex calculation / measurement / design task. The student determines the correct order in which to perform the tasks detailed with the supervisor. The student identifies the range of literature still to be reviewed to complete the task correctly. The student describes the relevant knowledge found in the literature in his work. The student analyzes the literature reviewed in the light of what has been learned previously. The student applies the technical knowledge acquired during his/her studies so far in the elaboration of the work. The student adequately addresses emerging challenges that would require deviating from the preliminary task discussion or expanding the tasks. In the course of his / her work, the student prepares the results of the literature reviewed or the analysis carried out in order to make the consultations with his / her supervisor effective. The student proposes to the supervisor to modify the work to be done if the need arises. The student distinguishes between essential, useful, technically relevant and useless information.
Attitude
The student constantly monitors his/her work, results and conclusions with the help of his supervisor and consultant. The student continuously expands your knowledge of the chosen technical field by acquiring knowledge. The student is open to using information technology tools and acquiring new skills when needed. The student strives to get to know the system of tools needed for technical problem solving, to use it error-free and routinely. The student develops your ability to provide accurate and error-free problem solving, engineering precision and accuracy.
Independence and responsibility
The student collaborates with the supervisor and consultant, as well as fellow students as needed, to expand his / her knowledge. During the preparation of his / her work, he accepts the well-founded professional and other critical remarks. The student is constantly cooperating with his supervisor, consultant and, if necessary, his/her fellow students during the elaboration of his dissertation. With his / her knowledge, the student makes a responsible, well-founded and independent decision based on his/her analyzes. The student feels responsible for energy, the problems of energy management and the sustainable use of the environment, as well as present and future generations.
Teaching methodology
During the teaching of the subject, the student works independently on the chosen task under the guidance of his / her instructor. This requires effective oral and written communication with the supervisor. Due to the different depths of the tasks, the use of IT tools and techniques is required for each task at different depths. At the end of the task, the student summarizes his / her most important steps in the form of a dissertation. As the time schedule of the task is not obligatory, the student, with the help of the supervisor, has to determine the cornerstones of the work and the internal deadlines that can be attached to them.

General rules
Learning outcomes are assessed on the basis of two mid-year performance measurements. On the one hand, complex performance evaluation is a simplified way of evaluating the knowledge, ability, attitude, and autonomy and responsibility type competence elements of the subject, which takes the form of mandatory prepared appearances at consultation sessions (20%) and completion of completed work at the end of the semester (80%). The evaluation of the work submitted at the end of the semester is given in Annex 2 to V./11/2014-2015. (4 April 2015) to the decision of the Faculty Council c. document.
Assessment methods
Detailed description of mid-term assessments
| Mid-term assessment No. 1 | ||
| Type: | formative assessment, project-based, complex | |
| Number: | 1 | |
| Purpose, description: | One way of evaluating learning outcomes is to evaluate complex performance in a simplified way. The evaluation of the work submitted at the end of the semester is given in Annex 2 to V./11/2014-2015. (4 April 2015) to the decision of the Faculty Council c. document. | |
| Mid-term assessment No. 2 | ||
| Type: | formative assessment, point-in-time personal act | |
| Number: | 1 | |
| Purpose, description: | Learning outcomes are assessed on the basis of two mid-year performance measurements. The second element of this is the complex performance evaluation, a simplified way of evaluating the competence elements of the subject's knowledge, ability, attitude, and autonomy and responsibility type, the form of which is the obligatory prepared appearance at the consultation occasions. A consultation log is kept on consultation occasions. | |
Detailed description of assessments performed during the examination period
The subject does not include assessment during the examination period.
The weight of mid-term assessments in signing or in final grading
| ID | Proportion |
|---|---|
| Mid-term assessment No. 1 | 80 % |
| Mid-term assessment No. 2 | 20 % |
The weight of partial exams in grade
There is no exam belongs to the subject.
Determination of the grade
| Grade | ECTS | The grade expressed in percents |
|---|---|---|
| very good (5) | Excellent [A] | above 92 % |
| very good (5) | Very Good [B] | 85 % - 92 % |
| good (4) | Good [C] | 72 % - 85 % |

| Can the submitted and accepted partial performance assessments be resubmitted until the end of the replacement period in order to achieve better results? | ||
| yes | ||
| Taking into account the previous result in case of improvement, retaken-improvement: | ||
| out of multiple results, the best one is to be taken into account | ||

| partial assesment(s) in this group can be improved or repeated once up to the end of the repeat period | ||
| Completion of unfinished laboratory exercises: | ||
| missed laboratory practices must be performed in the repeat period | ||
| Repetition of laboratory exercises that performed incorrectly (eg.: mistake in documentation) | ||
| incorrectly performed laboratory practice (e.g. Incomplete/incorrect report) can be corrected by repeating the practice | ||
