Course detail

Diploma Project (M-STG, Forming, Welding)

FSI-HD3Acad. year: 2025/2026

Diploma thesis is the culmination of the engineering studies and is focused on the engineering technology. The student creatively applies the knowledge obtained in the area of engineering technologies specializing in metal-forming, welding or surface treatment. The project is worked out under the guidance of a supervisor and, if necessary, consultations with specialists in the given field are provided. Project specifications from industrial companies are appreciated.

Entry knowledge

Regular completion of all the specialized courses in the field of engineering technology and in the metal-forming, welding, and surface treatment specializations.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The diploma thesis assessment is conditional on submitting the original of the diploma project in the required scope and formal layout. The diploma project is also assessed by the respective diploma leader and reviewer. The degree to which the tasks have been fulfilled and the quality of the technical report submitted are reflected in the mark awarded. The diploma project is defended viva voce and evaluated in final classification by a State Examination Board.
Participation in lectures and consultations is mandatory -compulsory.
Attendance is regularly checked and recorded.
Working out, reviewing,and defending viva voce the diploma project form an integral part of regular completion of MSc studies and awarding the MSc degree.

Aims

The objective of the course is to prove students ability to solve independently the assigned technological project and to apply comprehensively the knowledge acquired in their studies to the assigned project, as well as to elaborate a technical solution under professional guidance.
Students will test their capacity for independent creative work and analytical reasoning in the course of collecting, processing and evaluating technical data. They will master the method of approaching the problem of elaborating a technological project.
