Summary
The subject is focused on alternative solution of individually assigned topic of defended bachelor thesis. With the acquired knowledge and skills, his solves other alternatives. Performs the necessary strength, control and kinematic calculations, including a variant solution. The work is individual and focuses on the principles of technical assignment. Part of the solution can be controlled short-term practice of students in industrial practice - the contracting company, consultations with experts from industrial companies, lectures of practitioners focusing on the design of the machines, etc. Students in this course will acquire and deepen basic knowledge and knowledge of subject area of study - earth and construction machines.

Direct lessons take place both through joint lessons and individually by consulting students with their respective supervisors. More teachers of the department are involved in the course.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student within this course according the topic of his defended bachelor thesis, deepen his knowledge in the field of the branch – field of human activities, as well as skills and abilities in terms of designing machine parts.
