Course detail
Individual Engineering Project
FSI-URP-A Acad. year: 2021/2022 Summer semester
The course provides students with an opportunity to work on individual projects in the area of mechanical engineering. The skills and abilities acquired during the work on the projects can student later utilize during the work on their master’s thesis and in mechanical engineering jobs. For this reason, the main emphasis is placed on self-study and independent work. Students regularly consult the progress of their projects with the assigned supervisors.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will learn to work independently when solving engineering problems. They will learn how to proceed from acquiring of relevant information to the development of the solution and its presentation.
Prerequisites
Practical knowledge of engineering mechanics, machine design, thermodynamics and heat transfer, fluid mechanics and material engineering. Computer skills (the level must correspond with the requirements of the course project).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Independent work of the student under the supervision of the assigned project supervisor.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
To obtain the credit, the student must successfully complete the assigned project.
Aims
The goal is to prepare students for independent solution of engineering problems. The course stimulates self-study as a way of obtaining new knowledge, independent proposal and analysis of solutions to engineering problems, and elaboration and presentation of the selected suitable solution.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Students are obliged to report the progress of their project to the teacher (project supervisor), who also carries out the final evaluation of the project. The scope and extent of progress monitoring is determined by the project supervisor.
