Aim
The course aims for the student to master the techniques used in engineering related to mechanical engineering, mechanical processes and machines, and to acquire an independent problem-solving approach within the final project's framework. During the preparation of the final project, the student demonstrates their maturity for solving engineering tasks to a high standard by solving and documenting tasks related to various topics. The student performs independent engineering work under the guidance of the department's supervisor - in some cases of a firm consultant.
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. With the help of his 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 job description at the appropriate level. The student identifies the challenges that arise that would require a departure from the terms of reference or an extension of the scope of the tasks. The student has the knowledge to consult effectively 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 based on which he/she is able to propose the formulation of the points of the task with the help of their supervisor. The student names the content of each chapter of the dissertation, its length can be formulated on the basis of prior knowledge. The student gathers the literature with the help of the knowledge acquired during his training.
Ability
Understands the tasks in the job description correctly. Specifies the correct order in which the tasks detailed in the job description are performed. The student identifies the range of literature that still needs to be reviewed in order to properly prepare the dissertation task. Describes the relevant knowledge found in the literature in your dissertation. The student applies the professional knowledge acquired during his studies so far during the elaboration of the dissertation. The student adequately addresses emerging challenges that would require deviating from the job description or expanding the tasks. During his/her work, the student prepares the results of the reviewed literature or the performed analysis in order to make the consultations with his/her supervisor effective. Proposes to the supervisor to modify the terms of reference of the final project task if the need arises. After completing the work, make suggestions for ways forward. Analyzes the literature reviewed in the light of what has been learned previously.
Attitude
The student constantly monitors his/her work, results and conclusions with the help of his supervisor and consultant. The student expands his/her knowledge in the chosen field by constantly 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 error-free and routine use of the tool system necessary for solving 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
Collaborates with the supervisor and consultant, as well as fellow students as needed, to expand his/her knowledge. During the preparation of the thesis, the student accepts the well-founded professional and other critical remarks. The student constantly cooperates with the supervisor, consultant and, if necessary, fellow students during the elaboration of the thesis. With his knowledge, the student makes a responsible, well-founded and independent decision based on his analysis. The student feels responsible for the problems of mechanical energy management and the sustainable use of the environment, as well as for present and future generations.
Teaching methodology
This subject is without contact lessons. The student works independently on a complex task during the semester. He tries to solve the problems that arise during the solution of the task on his own. He uses the help of his supervisor and consultant only when making strategic decisions. To solve the task, the student uses the knowledge and skills acquired during the degree program.

General rules
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 the performed engineering, the quality of the processing of the literature related to the topic, the formal, aesthetic appearance, division and logical structure of the dissertation. The aspects of the scoring must be made on the basis of the evaluation form according to the current Faculty Regulations.

| 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 | ||
