Course detail
Research and Development Project
FSI-ZKRAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course is focused on team realization of advanced problems during prototype design or research and development project. Emphasis is placed on more advanced way of project based learning in which students are involved in problems identification and finding possible solutions. The presentation of obtained results in the form of technical paper is developed.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
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).
- submission of a technical paper in digital (docx) and printed version.
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. 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. In the case of long-term absence, compensation of missed lessons is on the competence of the course guarantor.
Aims
- Ability to work in a team to solve advanced research and development projects.
