Course contents:
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.
Teaching methods and criteria:
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.
Controlled participation in lessons:
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.
Type of course unit:
    Supervision of Master’s thesis  13 × 12 hrs. compulsory                  
    Labs and studios  13 × 10 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Supervision of Master’s thesis Areas of study are given individually by the supervisor of the diploma thesis. Individual work of the student is consulted and supervised with focus to the detailed elaborating of the following chapters of the thesis (according type):
