The study subject aim is to expand the students’ knowledge gained from the subjects Hydro- or Thermodynamics, namely those having the relation to his course of study project and his Bachelor thesis topics. The background research of the appropriate fields and definition of the bachelor thesis aim are the objectives for the student under supervision of a supposed advisor of the thesis. The study subject is accomplished by a presentation and follow-up discussion of the gained results defined in the bachelor thesis. The final stage shall deepen the student’s presentations- and argumentative skills.
