Applying engineering knowledge, techniques and skills in order to identify, formulate and solve the given engineering problem within the Master thesis; understanding the principles of project and equipment design and the environment necessary for their production; designing systems, components or processes within practical limitations, such as economic, environmental, social, ethical, safety and security limitations; using computing and statistical methods, simulations and information technologies for analysis and synthesis of technological systems; implementing standard tests and measurements and providing an overview of the results.

Upon the successful completion of the Master thesis, engineers should be able to: • come up with and apply the solutions based on their knowledge in science, engineering, technology, computer science and mathematics, • determine, formulate, analyze and solve complex engineering problems, • design a system, component or process, provide answers to the stated needs, plan and conduct an experiment and analyze and interpret data, • work efficiently as individuals in a team and in a multidisciplinary environment, with the ability of lifelong learning, • communicate efficiently with the engineering community and the society as a whole, • apply the acquired knowledge and adapt to newly arising situations in practice, • consider different solutions critically and self-critically;

It is developed individually in accordance with the needs and the field of the Master thesis. Master thesis is in the field of mandatory or elective courses from the study program. The topic and content of the Master thesis are the result of practical research, and project activities that are realized for the needs and in cooperation with the employer where Internship, part 2 is carried out. The Master thesis is taken from the mandatory or elective subjects of the study program.The student studies the referent literature, bachelor and master theses with similar topics and conducts analyses in order to find solutions to the specific task defined by the topic of the Master thesis.

Within the given topic, the student may conduct standard testing and measurements; he/she may conduct, analyze and interpret experiments and implement experimental results in process improvement. He/she may use the methods and tools for the analysis, synthesis and design in the areas of distributed computing; data analysis; interactive computing; organization; systems and processes control; equipment, systems and processes design and/or implementation; system maintenance in context of Industry 4.0. The Master's thesis is closely related to the subject Internship, Part 2 and the practical part of the Master's thesis is carried out in the company where the Internship, Part 2 is carried out under the supervision of the Master's thesis mentor and the mentor at the employer.All results of practical research and project activities student documents in detail within technical reports.
