Use of basic, theoretical and methodological, scientific, technical and professional knowledge and application of methods for solving specific problems in the selected area. In this part of the master work a student studies the problem, its structure and complexity and on the basis of conducted analysis draws conclusions about possible ways to solve it. Studying the literature student becomes familiar with the methods that are intended to solve similar tasks and the engineering practices in solving them. The goal of students activities in this part of the research is to acquire the necessary experience through solving complex problems and tasks and possibilities for the application of previously acquired knowledge into practice.

Students are able to independently apply previously acquired knowledge in different areas that were previously studied, in order to review the structure of a given problem and its system analysis and the purpose of drawing conclusions about the possible directions to its resolution. Through the individual use of literature, students expand knowledge in the selected areas and study of various methods and papers relating to similar issues. In this way, the students develop the ability to conduct analysis and identify problems within a given topic. Practical application of acquired knowledge from different areas develops the students’ ability to look at the place and role of engineers in the selected area, the need to cooperate with other disciplines and team work.

Formed separately in accordance with the needs of a particular master thesis, its complexity and structure. Students study the professional literature, bachelor and master theses that deal with similar topics, performs the analysis in order to find solutions for specific task which is defined by the master s thesis requirements. Part of course is organized in the form of independent study research. Study work includes active reading of primary findings related to the topic, organizing and performing experiments, numerical simulations and statistical analysis of data, writing and or presenting a paper at the conference from the specific scientific and educational fields to which the Master thesis is related.

The thesis supervisor formulates the task and presents is to the student. The student has the obligation to fulfil the task within the topic defined by the master thesis task, using the literature suggested by the supervisor. In the course of developing the thesis the supervisor can give additional instructions to the students, suggest the particular pieces of literature and provide additional guidance to assist the student produce a high quality master thesis. As part of the study and research work a student has consultations with the supervisor and if necessary with other teachers dealing with the topic of the thesis. Within the chosen topic a student also does certain measurements, testing, counting, surveys and forms of research, statistical data analysis of data as required by the thesis task.
