Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Credit:
Attendance in exercises. Each student will prepare an individual project with a view to statistical evaluation, propose measures to improve the process, and present a technological justification.
Eamination:
In the examination, the knowledge of the theoretical part will be tested and the ability to apply this knowledge to specific technological processes will be verified. The examination consists of the defence of the partial project and of oral examination.
Marking will be based on:
1)the result of the defence of the individual project
2)the results of oral examination.
