Course detail
Diploma Project II (M-KSI, M-PDS)
FSI-ZD5 Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester
The course is intended to facilitate students’ work on their diploma theses. The output of each thesis is in addition to the text part also one of the following outputs: article in proceedings or in periodical, utility or industrial model or technically realized result (prototype, functional sample).
<br /> This course was supported under the FabLabNet project from the European Regional Development Fund within the programme "Interreg Central Europe". The course uses facilities of the open-access student workshop "StrojLab", built with the support of Institute of Machine and Industrial Design and the FabLabNet project.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Student will be able to apply the knowledge obtained during the master's degree program for their individual specified issues including the forming of given outputs within the required deadlines.
Prerequisites
Knowledge gained during the study related to the topic of diploma thesis.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Elaboration of diploma thesis outputs under professional supervision. Consultation of a work plan, design variations, analyses, and interpretation of results. Interpretation of the required theory and recommendations of scientific literature related to the problem. Training and assistance in working with special measuring equipment and realization of experiments. Supervisor will ensure terms in the form of funds and equipment for successful outputs of diploma thesis.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: active work on diploma thesis, which is confirmed by supervisor, submission of the text part of diploma thesis and all required outcomes. Active application for the final state exam.
Credit will be given for delivery of thesis outputs defined in the in the thesis assignment and submission of text part in physical and electronic form. All outputs in electronic form (text, attachments, photographic documentation of physical outputs) must be submitted via e-learning system Moodle in the required time.
Aims
The course objective is to process the requested outputs of according to thesis specification.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Teaching is controlled by supervisor of diploma thesis. If the supervisor is not satisfied with a student's result, the student will be assigned extra work to intensify the effort.
