Course detail

Diploma Project I (M-KSI)

FSI-ZDPAcad. year: 2015/2016

Students work on a given topic of the thesis. Topics are divided into three types: experimental, theoretical and design. Experimental work is mainly based on the use of empirical methods (observation, measurement, experiment). Theoretical work is not primarily based on empirical experience or measurement, but uses general theoretical methods (eg, analysis, induction, generalization, comparison, analogy, etc.). Design work is focused on the design or modification of a specific machine part or equipment. Each thesis is linked to the research and development project carried out at the Institute of Machine and Industrial Design or in cooperation with industrial partners.

Aims

The aim of this course is to verify the student's ability to apply theoretical knowledge in individual work on a given engineering problem and confirm the level of the student's ability to formulate achieved partial results and conclusions in the diploma thesis.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The work on the diploma theses will be checked by supervisors. If the supervisor is not satisfied with a student's result, the student will be assigned extra work to intensify the effort.
