Use of basic, theoretical and methodological, scientific, technical and professional knowledge and application of methods for solving specific problems in the selected areas. In this part of the master thesis, a student studies the problem, its structure and complexity and on the basis of performed analysis, he draws conclusions about possible ways to solve it. By studying literature, a student becomes familiar with methods that are intended to solve similar tasks, using engineering practices in their solution. The aim of students` activities in this part of the research is to acquire the necessary experience in solving complex problems and tasks and recognize possibilities for the application of the previously acquired knowledge into practice.

Enabling students to independently apply previously acquired knowledge in different areas that were formerly studied, in order to review the structure of a given problem and its system analysis and for the purpose of drawing conclusions about possible directions regarding its resolution. Through the individual use of literature, students expand knowledge in selected areas and study various methods and papers relating to similar issues. In this way, the students develop ability to conduct analysis and identify problems within an assigned topic. By practical application of acquired knowledge in different areas, a student develops the ability to consider the place and role of an engineer in the selected area, as well as the needto cooperate with other disciplines, developing team work.

It is formed separately in accordance with the needs of a master thesis elaboration, its complexity and structure. A student examines the scientific literature and papers of graduate and master students that deal with similar topics, in order to perform specific task analysis for finding a solution which is defined by the task of the master thesis. Teaching is partially conducted through independent study research. Study includes active monitoring of the primary findings from this particular topic, organizing and conducting experiments, numerical simulations and statistical data processing, writing and / or presenting papers at conferences out of the specific scientific and teaching fields relating to issues of master thesis.

A mentor of a master thesis assigns a task of the master thesis and submits it to the student. The student is required to develop a given topic defined by the task of master thesis , using literature proposed by the mentor. During the elaboration of a master thesis ,a mentor may provide additional guidance to the student regarding literature and further instruct him how to make a high quality Master thesis . During the study research, a student makes consultations with the mentor, and if necessary with other teachers who deal with issues related to theme of the thesis. Within the assigned topic, the student, if necessary, performs adequate measuring, testing, counting, questionnaires and other research, statistical data processing, if it is foreseen by the task of the master thesis.
