Requirements for diploma theses. 2) Structure and principles for elaboration of diploma thesis. 3) Literary sources, rules for citing professional literature. 4) Work with professional literary sources and search in electronic databases. 5) Ethics of professional texts, plagiarism. 6) Searching for resources for the diploma thesis. At the beginning of the semester there will be a seminar at which the topics of diploma theses will be offered, and students will be divided into individual diploma thesis supervisors. The student's work on the project within this subject, under the individual guidance of the supervisor, precedes the diploma thesis. The student will conduct a literature search on the assigned topic, will be familiar with the issue, get acquainted with the experimental or other facilities that will be available during the elaboration of the thesis. The topics of the project will be primarily focused on the design of laboratory methods of production, testing and application of biomaterials. The assignments combine theoretical, especially physical, construction of biomaterials and experimental verification of their expected properties, including in vitro tests in the tissue engineering laboratory. At the end of the seminar, the defense of the research will be carried out in the form of a short presentation of students' knowledge of the issues addressed.
