Aims

  • This course is prepared for Erasmus+ and other exchange incoming international students enrolled at the FIT: An international student can register this course, but the final enrollment of the IBTe course depends on the availability of a supervisor who must be appointed before signing the Learning Agreement. A student interested in this course is required to send his/her Transcript of Records forthwith and specify the area(s) of his/her interest in his/her final thesis by email to Ms Studena well in advance.
  • Stamped and signed assignment on a paper has to be inserted into a thesis after the title page before bookbinding. The assignment can be picked up from the thesis supervisor.
  • Technical report (printed thesis) has to be handed in at the office C208/C209 before 2021-05-12, 14:00.
  • The full text of the thesis in PDF format with the abstract and keywords must be saved into IS FIT with the printed version of the thesis.
  • Supervisor assessment and the review of the thesis will be accessible in the IS FIT at least 3 days before defenses.
  • Defense can be up to 8 minutes long. It is necessary to have a presentation on a virus-free USB Flash  (other media are not allowed, own notebook, speakers or other supplementary resources are impermissible). Please do not use white font on black background and / or slides decorated with unrelated icons, images or some weird patterns. If someone needs to present multimedia realisation outputs, it is necessary to have them integrated into the presentation. The media need to be run from presentation directly and have to run on an average notebook without any additional accessories. Time to run the video and playing time are included in the standard presentation time. Each slide should be numbered with "slide number / total number of slides". If the thesis review contains questions, it is highly recommended to prepare them with your responses and related pictures on the additional unnumbered slides after the end of the presentation. You will be asked to respond them after the reading of the review.
  • The credit will be given at the base of submission of the thesis and defense of the thesis in front of commission, which will take place from the 2021-06-07 to 2021-06-11. If the thesis is not submitted in the term, credit will not be given and consequently the thesis will be classified zero points FAILED.
