Prerequisites

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Conditions for obtaining credit:
- active participation in exercises,
- submission of a complete project (CAD data, technical report, drawing documentation, poster, 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.
