Course detail
Experimental Project
FSI-ZEXAcad. year: 2012/2013
This course provides students an opportunity to solve experimental and R&D projects using the knowledge gained in bachelor studies and in block-courses taught in graduate studies. The aim of this course type is to enable students to gain practical experience during solution of the project on the basis of teamwork, as it happens in practice.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
At the beginning of the semester project assignments will be published. Students will be divided into groups with 3-5 members, each group will address chosen engineering project. Solution will start in 5th week. Students will be familiarized with the date of the control points and requirements for the presentation of the results (tentatively, checkpoints will be held at 7 and 10 weeks). Failure to participate in the checkpoint or failure of the solution according to the previous agreement will result in credit denial. Final presentation and defense of the projects will be held during the examination period.
