Individual Engineering Project (FSI-URP-A)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Pavel Charvát, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: English
Aims of the course unit:
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.
Learning outcomes and competences:
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).
Course contents:
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.
Teaching methods and criteria:
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.
Controlled participation in lessons:
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.
Type of course unit:
    Exercise  13 × 15 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Exercise The content of the course is independent work of the student on an assigned project under the supervision of the assigned supervisor. The scope of work is determined by the supervisor. The work may include, but is not limited to, self-study, proposal and analysis of various solutions to the assigned problem, engineering calculations, and presentation of results.
