In AY 2021-22, in accordance with the decision of the FA PUT Faculty Council, the physical mock-up of the diploma project may be replaced with a virtual one.
LOADING DIPLOMA THESIS:
Before uploading the diploma thesis, the Graduate should have:
- all courses passed
- all semesters closed.
The graduate student uploads the diploma thesis to the system in two identical versions:
Thesis in an editable version (.doc)
The diploma thesis in a non-editable version (.pdf)
The files are automatically uploaded to the JSA (Unified Anti-Plagiarism System).
The system checks the files and sends the report to the Supervisor. The waiting time (12-48h) depends on how busy the servers are.
The Supervisor informs the Student about the result. The Graduate has the right to replace the files twice, in each case the thesis is checked again by the JSA.
NOTE: The system operation time should be taken into account - hence the safe deadline for uploading the finished work is about 3-4 days before the deadline for submitting the work.
The diplomat also uploads graphic attachments to the system. Changing graphic attachments (replacing, adding new ones, etc.) does not generate JSA checking the diploma thesis.
The lack of graphic attachments makes it impossible to defend the diploma thesis.
NOTE: Approval of the thesis by the Supervisor is considered as submission of the thesis and closes the possibility of replacing files or uploading additional graphic attachments.
Graphic attachments:
- diploma boards - vertical format 100x70, each board in a separate file
- photos of the mock-up or visualization of a virtual model - the mock-up should take into account the immediate surroundings of the building or a group of buildings and fully convey information about formal solutions used in the project, in the case of visualization of a virtual model, they should show the entire project, including material solutions and colors used, at least one view it should be made "from the bird's eye view". The number of photos / visualizations is arbitrary, depending on the scale of the object - as a rule, all information regarding the external appearance of the designed building or complex should be provided.
- declaration of consent to the participation in competitions.
SUBMISSION OF THE DIPLOMA THESIS:
The moment of submitting the diploma thesis is the approval of the diploma thesis in the system by the Supervisor.
Before approving the thesis, the Supervisor should make sure that the Graduate Student has uploaded the final versions of the graphic attachments.
