Aim
The course aims to acquire the techniques used in engineering practice related to mechanical engineering and mechanical systems within the framework of the diploma design project to acquire an independent task-solving practice. During the thesis project, the student demonstrates their maturity for solving engineering tasks to a high standard by solving and documenting project work related to various topics. During the semester, the student carries out independent engineering work under the guidance of the department's supervisor - sometimes their plant consultant.
Learning outcomes
Competences that can be acquired by completing the course
Knowledge
With the help of his/her supervisor, the student identifies the main content elements of the final thesis to be written about a chosen segment of the field. The student gathers the literature with the help of the knowledge acquired during his degree. With the help of his/her 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 the student is able to propose the formulation of the points of the task with the help of his/her supervisor. The student names the content and length of the individual chapters of the diploma project on the basis of prior knowledge.
Ability
Understands the tasks in the final project assignment correctly. Specifies the correct order in which the tasks detailed in the final project assignment are performed. The student identifies the range of literature that still needs to be reviewed in order to properly prepare your dissertation. Describes the relevant knowledge found in the literature in the thesis. Analyzes the literature reviewed in the light of what has been learned previously. The student applies the professional knowledge acquired during his studies so far during the elaboration of his diploma thesis. The student adequately addresses emerging challenges that would require deviating from the job description or expanding the tasks. During the work, the student prepares the results of the reviewed literature or the performed analysis to make the consultations with the supervisor effective. Proposes to the supervisor to modify the final thesis assignment if the need arises. After completing the work, make suggestions for ways forward.
Attitude
The student constantly monitors his/her own work, results and conclusions with the help of the supervisor and consultant. The student expands his/her knowledge of your 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 get to know the error-free and routine use of the tools needed to solve the technical problems that arise. The student develops his/her ability to provide accurate and error-free problem solving, engineering precision and accuracy.
Independence and responsibility
Collaborates with your supervisor and consultant and fellow students as needed to expand his/her knowledge. Readily accepts well-founded professional and other critical remarks during the preparation of the thesis. The student constantly cooperates with the supervisor, consultant and, if necessary, fellow students during the thesis project work. With his/her knowledge, he makes a responsible, well-founded and independent decision based on his analysis. The student feels responsible for the problems of mechanical systems and the sustainable use of the environment, as well as for present and future generations.
Teaching methodology
The 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. During the solution of the task, the student uses the knowledge and skills acquired during the training to solve the task.

General rules
The supervisor determines the performance evaluation primarily based on the prepared thesis. The result is defined based on the elaboration of the topic, the standard of the performed engineering, the quality of the literature processing related to the topic, the formal, aesthetic appearance, division and logical structure of the thesis. The aspects of the scoring must be made based on 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 supervisor's performance evaluation is primarily based on the prepared thesis project. The result is defined based on the elaboration of the topic, the standard of the performed engineering, the quality of the literature processing related to the topic, the formal, aesthetic appearance, division and logical structure of the thesis. The aspects of the scoring must be made based on 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] | 86 % - 92 % |
| good (4) | Good [C] | 73 % - 86 % |
| satisfactory (3) | Satisfactory [D] | 66 % - 73 % |
| sufficient (2) | Pass [E] | 50 % - 66 % |
| 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) | ||
