Aim
The aim of the course is to teach the student to acquire the techniques used in engineering practice related to polymer engineering, and to gain independent problem-solving practice while preparing the dissertation. During this time, the student demonstrates their maturity for performing engineering tasks to a high standard by carrying out and documenting tasks related to various topics. During the preparation of the dissertation, the student performs independent engineering work under the guidance of the supervisor of the department, or sometimes their consultant from the industry.
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 dissertation, which is about a chosen segment of the field. The student collects the literature with the help of the knowledge acquired during his training. With the help of prior knowledge, the student systematizes 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 professional knowledge required to perform the tasks in the task description at the appropriate level. The student identifies challenges that would require a departure from the task description or an extension of the scope of the tasks. The student has the knowledge to hold effective consultations with his supervisor. The student has the knowledge to propose changes to the terms of reference if necessary. The student is aware of the professional knowledge on the basis of which they are able to make a proposal for the formulation of the points of the task with the help of their supervisor. The student names the contents of each chapter of the dissertation. They can estimate their length based on prior knowledge.
Ability
The student interprets the tasks listed in the task description correctly. The student specifies the correct order of tasks detailed in the task description. The student identifies the range of literature still to be reviewed for the correct preparation of the dissertation. The student describes the relevant knowledge found in the literature, in their dissertation. The student analyzes the literature reviewed in the light of what they have learned previously. The student applies the professional knowledge acquired during their studies so far to the preparation of the dissertation. The student adequately addresses emerging challenges that would require deviating from the task description or expanding the tasks. In the course of their work, the student prepares the results of the literature reviewed or the analysis carried out in order to make the consultations with their supervisor effective. The student proposes to the supervisor modifications to the task description of the dissertation if the need arises. After completing the work, the student suggests ways to move forward.
Attitude
The student constantly monitors their work, results and conclusions with the help of their supervisor and consultant. The student expands their knowledge of their chosen field by continuously acquiring knowledge. The student is open to using information technology tools and acquiring new skills when needed. The student strives to learn the error-free and routine use of the tools needed to solve the technical problems that arise. The student develops the ability to provide accurate and error-free problem solving, engineering precision, and accuracy.
Independence and responsibility
The student collaborates with their supervisor and consultant, as well as their fellow students as needed, to expand their knowledge. During the preparation of the dissertation, the student accepts the well-founded professional and other critical remarks. The student constantly cooperates with their supervisor, consultant and, if necessary, fellow students during the preparation of the dissertation. With their knowledge, the student makes a responsible, well-founded and independent decision based on their analyses. The student feels a responsibility for the sustainable use of the environment and for present and future generations.
Teaching methodology
The subject is a unit without contact lessons. The student works independently on a complex task during the semester. They try to solve the problems that arise during doing their task on their own. They use the help of their supervisor and industrial consultant only when making strategic decisions. During performing the task, the student arrives at completing the task with the help of the knowledge and skills acquired during their training.

General rules
The evaluation of performance is determined by the supervisor on the basis of the prepared thesis. It defines the topic of the dissertation on the basis of its elaboration, the standard of engineering, the level of processing of the literature related to the topic, the formal, aesthetic appearance, and division and logical structure of the dissertation. Scoring must be performed on the basis of the evaluation form according to the current Faculty Regulations.
Assessment methods
Detailed description of mid-term assessments
| Mid-term assessment No. 1 | ||
| Type: | formative assessment, project-based, complex | |
| Number: | 1 | |
| Purpose, description: | The evaluation of the performance is determined by the supervisor on the basis of the prepared thesis. The dissertation is determined by the elaboration of the topic, the standard of engineering work performed, the quality of the literature analysis related to the topic, the formal, aesthetic appearance, and the division and logical structure of the dissertation. Scoring must be performed on the basis of the evaluation form according to the current Faculty Regulations. | |
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 | 100 % |
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 % |
| satisfactory (3) | Satisfactory [D] | 65 % - 72 % |
| sufficient (2) | Pass [E] | 50 % - 65 % |
| insufficient (1) | Fail [F] | below 50 % |
The lower limit specified for each grade already belongs to that grade.
Attendance and participation requirements
At least 70% the exercises (rounded down) must be actively attended.
Special rules for improving, retaken and replacement
The special rules for improving, retaken and replacement shall be interpreted and applied in conjunction with the general rules of the CoS (TVSZ).
| Can the submitted and accepted partial performance assessments be resubmitted until the end of the replacement period in order to achieve better results? | ||
| NO | ||
| Taking into account the previous result in case of improvement, retaken-improvement: | ||
| new result overrides previous result | ||
| The way of retaking or improving a partial assessment for the first time: | ||
| partial assesment(s) in this group cannot be improved or repeated, the final result is assessed in accordance with Code of Studied 122. § (6) | ||
