Developing a research project
The final evaluation of the technological project is based on the quality of the critical problem analysis. Furthermore, on the solution of the problem. The total number of points a student can earn is 60 points, which is divided according to the qualitative evaluation criteria as follows:
• 40 points - analysis of technological problem, suggestions for its solution and ev. Processing of the final product (mock-up or prototype).
• 15 points - writing a project (semestral work).
• 5 points - presentation of technological solution before teachers, ev. In front of business representatives.
The student must obtain at least 30 points from the technological project.
WRITTEN TEST
The written test will be composed of a series of lectured topics. Topics are based on slides from lectures. The student has to write four open questions, which are evaluated by a total of 40 points (4 x 10) and selected from a range of topics with 60 minutes. The written test is evaluated by the lecturer
