The application of basic theoretical, methodological, scientific, technical and professional knowledge and application of methods to solve specific problems within the selected area. In this part of the thesis, student analyzes the problem and the complexity of its structure and based on the analysis, draws conclusions on the possible ways of solving it. Through analysis of literature, students are introduced to the methods intended for solving similar tasks and engineering practice in solving them. The aim of the activities of students in this part of the research is to acquire the necessary experience in solving complex problems and tasks and to use previously acquired knowledge into practice.

Training students to independently apply previously acquired knowledge in various areas that have been previously studied, in order to review the structure of the given problem and its system analysis in order to draw conclusions on possible directions for its solving. Through the use of literature independently, students expand their knowledge of the chosen field 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 the given topic. Practical application of acquired knowledge in different areas develops the student’s ability to look at the place and role of engineers in the chosen field, the need to cooperate with other professions and teamwork.

It is formed in accordance with the individual needs of the preparing of a thesis, its complexity and structure. Students analyze literature, perform the analysis in order to find solutions to specific task which is defined by specialist thesis. Part of teaching at the course is conducted through independent study research. Study work includes active monitoring of the knowledge of primary area of thesis, organization and conduction of experiments, numerical simulation and statistical analysis of data, writing and / or disclosure of paper at the conference of specific scientific areas to which thesis belongs.

Mentor of thesis prepares the task and submit it to the student. The student is required to work within the framework of the given topic, using literature proposed by the mentor. During the development of specialist thesis, a mentor can give students more guidance, refer to specific literature and further directed him to the production of quality specialist thesis. In the research study, the student consults with the mentor, and if necessary, with other teachers who are dealing with the topics of the field of thesis. Within a given topic, the student, if necessary, perform certain measurements, tests, surveys and other research, statistical analysis, if it is provided by specialist thesis task.
