Objectives

The project task is a complex, practice-oriented task requiring almost equal proportions of technical and management knowledge. In the framework of independent research work assisted by consultations, the student uses the knowledge and skills learned, deepens and applies knowledge of research methods, presents the theoretical and practical background of the topic, prepares an independent paper on the work performed, presents it orally, and prepares for the thesis. It is possible that the project task involves a task performed as a member of a real corporate project team. In this case, it must be clearly defined what the student's independent work is during the completion of the task.

  • The selection and collection of literature and further knowledge acquisition opportunities related to the project task takes place within the framework of consultations and independent work.
  • The information gathering and literature research must cover all aspects of the project task (economic, technical, research methodology and other management) to an extent determined jointly with the instructor.
  • Other aids supporting the writing of the project task can be found on the subject's Moodle page (https://edu.gtk.bme.hu).

General Rules

The learning outcomes stated in point 2.2 are assessed in the form of a written paper (summative assessment) and an oral presentation (formative assessment), taking into account the proactivity demonstrated during consultations and other tasks related to the project task. The necessary but not sufficient conditions for an assessable summative assessment are: A) the development of the technical part in an assessable quality; B) the collection of information necessary for the research work, the completion of literature-research along all aspects of the project task (economic, technical, research methodology and other management aspects). The necessary but not sufficient conditions for an assessable partial performance assessment are: A) the preparation of the presentation by the deadline; B) the act of presentation.

Performance assessment methods

Detailed description of the performance assessments carried out during the study period: Mandatory criteria for the final assessment process of the project task, without which the student cannot complete the subject: 1) Preparation of the assignment specification by the deadline and uploading it to the electronic educational system. 2) The requirement for obtaining a grade is regular (at least 3) consultations recorded in the electronic educational system supporting project-type subjects. 3) Preparation of the assessable written paper by the specified deadline. 4) The professional content of the assessable written paper meeting the minimum character count requirement, i.e. it reaches a minimum of 30,000 characters without spaces. 5) Participation in an oral presentation (with presentation).
