Purpose and description of the content of education:
The students acquires the skills to plan and implement an individual research project and to prepare an engineering scientific thesis. They learn to plan and implement the next stages of preparing a scientific study: obtaining data, literature research, effective selection of data and critical approach for the literature, proper use of information (including the principle of anti-plagiarism), formulating the purpose of a scientific study. Depending on the specialization pursued by the student and the subject of the engineering thesis: learns the principles of selecting appropriate methods to solve a specific problem or making a compilation based on existing literature.
