FAST-CJ008Acad. year: 2020/2021

The diploma seminar provides students with methodological and professional preparation to be able to tackle their diploma theses on a complex level. Processing information from professional literature. Completion and evaluation of obtained data, methodology of executing the theoretical and experimental part of the diploma thesis, interpretation and discussion of results, validation.
In further course of time results are individually evaluated using published finding of the department, domestic and foreign sources, as well as their processing in accordance with the diploma supervisors‘ recommendations. In order to satisfy the demands of the Institute for contentual and formal unification of theses, consultations are organized.The issues of technical backing of possible resits and unexpected situations in the finishing stages of diploma theses are addressed including extra consultations both internal and especially external. Questions of organisation are discussed, especially the excursions of students outside the Faculty to manufacturing and other organizations. External consultants and second readers are secured.
