Engineering Seminar 1200-1CHMSEINZ7
Presentations in the engineering seminar are held in January in the form of a mini-symposium. The presentation is followed by a discussion of the project. A time of about 30 minutes is provided for each student (presentation + discussion).
In the engineering seminar, students prepare a presentation outlining the project to be implemented as a thesis. The presentation should include the assumptions of the project, its research objectives, the hypotheses set, the ways of their experimental verification and the research results obtained by them. The topic of the presentation is determined by the student together with the thesis supervisor and the exact date of its presentation in January (seminars are held on Wednesdays) is agreed with the instructor of engineering seminars.
An important element of the presentation is the presentation of the current state of knowledge in the issue that the student is dealing with and also the comparison of the proposed solution to the research problem with other already existing ones. When discussing the research work carried out by the student, the student should also specify the perspective of its use or continuation of research. The presentation is followed by a discussion of the project presented by the graduate student with the participation of all students.

Learning outcomes
The expected learning outcome is the acquisition of the ability to prepare a modern presentation of scientific results. At the same time, students learn to systematically and synthetically present the state of knowledge in a given research topic. The seminars teach students how to conduct discussions and therefore how to properly formulate questions and answer questions posed by other participants in the discussion. In addition, the student will acquire the skills of scientific discussion without competitive elements.
Assessment criteria
Attendance at engineering seminars is mandatory. The seminar will be graded on the basis of the quality of the presentation (formal and substantive) and activity in discussions, as well as the positive opinion of the engineering thesis supervisor on the progress of the thesis.
Bibliography
Scientific literature recommended by the supervisor of the engineering project.
