The students learn to work with design project. Knowledge gained during work on pre-diploma project serves as the initial analytical material for theoretical part of diploma project. Focus of project comes from real or presupposed requirements of production and research-development fields; it tries to reflect the reality and practice of our society.

Students are expected to have mastered both the drawing and moulding as well as the basic spatial creation, art composition and realisation of three-dimensional models (mock-ups). Students are also expected to have the knowledge of the design solution of both simple and more complicated industrial products. Understanding the function, technical and technological aspects of given topics is necessary for a qualified solution. Praxis in both the 2D and 3D programmes (Adobe, Rhinoceros etc.) is necessary.

The main aim is thorough familiarization with the given problem according to individual assignment of diploma projects including correct assessment of mutual relationship human-machine-environment. An essential requirement in the initial phase of the solution is getting a certain global overview.

The attendance in workshops is controlled. Students are required to attend workshops in scheduled hours, work on given projects and wait for consultation, unless a lecturer gives any other individual plan. Students have to inform the lecturer in advance about his working-place in the scheduled education time (studio, workshops, modelling room) - absence is not excused without this information. The absences are possible only due to serious reasons, e.g. illness. Unexcused absence may cause the project is not accepted. The total absence greater than 50% (including excused absence) may threaten project acceptance.
