Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

Conditions for obtaining credit:
- active participation in exercises,
- submission of a complete project in digital form (CAD data, technical report, drawing documentation, presentation in pptx) and in printed form (technical report, drawing documentation).

Examination conditions:
- successful defence of the project before the committee (it takes place in a team and is a prerequisite for passing the second part of the exam),
- Successful completion of an individual discussion in front of the committee (the key to success is sharing knowledge about the project solution among all team members), the overall grade is based on the assessment in both parts of the exam (max. 60 p.), evaluation of the project guarantor (max. 20 p.), opponent (max. 20 p.). In total, up to 100 points can be earned, the resulting classification is determined by the ECTS scale.

Exercises and laboratories: attendance is compulsory and controlled by the teacher, maximum two absences are allowed without compensation. The absence of follow-up meetings must be clearly justified. In the case of long-term absence, compensation of missed lessons is on the competence of the course guarantor.
Controlled participation in lessons:
 
Type of course unit:
    Laboratory exercise  9 × 4 hrs. compulsory                  
    Computer-assisted exercise  12 × 10 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Laboratory exercise Depending on the requirements and objectives of a projects, the student usually carries out development or creative work in one of the following laboratories:
- Tribology.
- Reverse engineering and additive technologies.
- Technical diagnostics.
    Computer-assisted exercise Seminars in computer labs are realized in a block form with a progressive volume of learning from the beginning to the end of the semester.
- Presentation of project assignments, division of competencies, project map, Gantt chart.
- Problem analysis, technical review.
- Proposal of conceptual variants of solutions, analysis of variants.
- First review meeting with presentation of results.
- Calculation of project costs.
- Engineering analysis and material design.
- Drawing documentation.
- Second review meeting with presentation of results.
- Design of manufacturing method.
- Implementation of the chosen solution and experimental verification.
