ASSUMPTIONS OF ENGINEER DIPLOMA THESIS
The assumptions of these regulations are based on the following:
− Law of Higher Education of 27.07.2005 (Journal of Laws 2005 no. 164 pos. 1365,
with later amendments),
− Regulations of Studies for AGH University of Science and Technology (§ 24).
One requirement of first-degree studies is the realization and documentation of an
advanced engineering or experimental task, performed individually or as part of a team of
students (at most 2 people under conditions defined later in this document). The engineer-
ing task may be a continuation and extension of work previously performed within the
framework of one of the compulsory subjects in Semester VI. The Engineer Diploma The-
sis is carried out under the direction of a supervisor, who is an academic teacher: professor
or assistant professor with the scientific level of doctor. The Faculty Dean may give per-
mission to a doctor or specialist from outside the Institute to direct the Engineer Diploma
Thesis. After selection of the supervisor and agreement as to the subject and range of the
Engineer Diploma Thesis, the student is obliged to formally announce the subject of the
Engineer Diploma Thesis, which is then confirmed by the Faculty Dean. When setting the
subject of the work, it is desirable to take into consideration the student's interests, the
support available to carry out the work, and the nature of the foreseeable employment. The
subject of the Engineer Diploma Thesis may be part of the Faculty's scientific program or
the students' scientific circle after confirmation of the Department Head or Head of the
Scientific Circle. The choice of subject for the Engineer Diploma Thesis is conducted by
the Department which issues the diploma. In order to confirm the selected Engineer Di-
ploma Thesis subject, the student completes the application form for the engineer diploma
thesis subject (Attachment 1). The form signed by the thesis supervisor is required for en-
rolment to Semester VII and is submitted by the student in the Faculty Dean's office.
The signature of the Department Head on the collective application form for the en-
gineer diploma thesis subject confirms his/her consent of the proposed work under the
guidance of the Department's workers or other authorised persons. If the Department Head
does not provide consent, the student, together with the supervisor, corrects the subject of
the engineer diploma thesis and re-submits the application form for the engineer diploma
thesis subject for acceptance by the Department Head.
In exceptional circumstances, it is possible to modify or change the selected subject
of the engineer diploma thesis during its realization. A change of the thesis subject can be
performed with the consent of the supervisor and Faculty Dean. The student submits an
application in the IMIR Faculty Dean's office to the Dean to change the subject of the the-
sis, together with an explanation as to why, and the approval of the supervisor.
A condition for submitting the engineer diploma thesis is the performance by the
student of engineering or experimental tasks defined by the supervisor, preparation of en-
gineer diploma thesis documentation (when the work is conducted by a team of students,
the documentation must clearly indicate the input of each one) and a positive opinion of
the supervisor concerning the engineer diploma thesis. The student will be informed of the
guidelines concerning the editing of engineer diploma thesis documentation in the diploma
thesis seminars conducted in Semester VII. Complete realization of the engineer diploma
thesis should take place by the final day of lectures in Semester VII, according to the aca-
demic year announced by the order of the AGH Rector.
In the event of a long-term absence of the thesis supervisor, which could delay the
realization of the engineer diploma thesis and, as a result, threaten its punctual completion,
the Faculty Dean may designate a new person to take over the duties of the supervisor. A
change of supervisor may represent the basis for postponing the date for submitting the
engineer diploma thesis. The date for taking the diploma examination in such cases will be
set by the Faculty Dean individually at the request of the student or supervisor of the engi-
neer diploma thesis. In the event of the student not submitting the thesis in time, the AGH
Study Regulations shall apply. If the student repeats Semester VII, the Faculty Dean re-
quests the opinion of the supervisor, under whose supervision the thesis was carried out,
and takes a decision concerning the possibility to continue the thesis work or to change the
thesis subject.
Before the final exam, the engineer diploma thesis is reviewed by the supervisor and
a reviewer. The reviewers of the engineer diploma thesis are nominated by the Faculty
Dean from among the academic teachers of AGH:
− with a PhD – for work conducted under the direction of a supervisor with the level of
professor or associate professor;
− with the level of professor or associate professor – for work conducted under the di-
rection of a supervisor with a PhD.
The thesis review (Attachment 2) must contain an assessment based on the merits of
the performed engineering task, as well as an evaluation of the presented documentation.
With the aim of avoiding plagiarism, fragments of the documentation may be controlled
with the use of verifying computer programs or compared with texts of other publications.
Evaluation of the engineer diploma thesis documentation takes into consideration the fol-
lowing:
− suitability of the contents to the subject defined in the title;
− structure of documentation – division of contents, order of sections, full coverage,
etc.;
− evaluation of the work;
− level of innovation in the problem field;
− selection and usage of sources;
− formal side of documentation – accuracy of the language, use of editing techniques,
list of contents, references;
− ways of using the thesis – publication, access to institutions, source material.
When the engineer diploma thesis is conducted jointly by two students, the evalua-
tion presented by the supervisor may be divided to differentiate the input of each of the
authors – depending on their input and achieved results. During the presentation of the
work in the oral part of the engineering exam, the active participation of both co-authors is
required, which will enable the separate evaluation of the work's authors.
The schedule for realization of the engineer diploma thesis and details of the organi-
zation of the diploma examination are regulated by the decisions of the Faculty Dean.
Graduates, who meet the following conditions: submitted their diploma thesis
and took their diploma examination at the planned time, obtained an average from
their studies over 4.75, obtained an evaluation of very good for both their thesis and
diploma examination, can be awarded a distinction by the Commission. This is equal
to: “summa cum laude” in traditional academic terminology.
DIPLOMA EXAMINATION AND REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING REGISTRATION FOR THE ENGINEER DIPLOMA THESIS

ject selection. In addition, it should also include: a clearly defined objective, refer-
ences to other works from the field, clearly formulated technical assumptions which
were met by the diploma candidate, as well as a short abstract of the particular sec-
tions.
− Analysis – an introduction to the problem, analysis of the literature from the problem
field, an overview of possible solutions, their benefits and drawbacks with respect to
the presented problem and an overview and explanation of the choice of tools (e.g.
measurement, software) used during the thesis work.

publication and in a way as described in these regulations.
− Attachments – a collection of materials which the author should refer to while prepar-
ing the thesis, and which would disturb the clarity of the reasoning due to their size
(photographs, software specifications and measurement appliances, precise calcula-
tions, data sources, installation instructions and software activation etc.)
EDITING GUIDELINES
When writing the engineer diploma thesis documentation, it is important to use stan-
dardized editing principles. Their uniform character is designed to help in the efficient
analysis of the project's documentation, which is submitted for evaluation by the supervi-
sor and reviewer. The uniform editing of the documentation concerns the format of par-
ticular elements, such as: font name and size, paragraph breaks, and margins. The follow-
ing editing rules are used:
Tab. 4.1. Parameters of settings in interim project or diploma thesis
Parameter Chosen setting Notes
Font name Times New Roman Paragraph style, first paragraph break: 10 mm
Font size
16 p. bold 14 p. bold 12 p. bold 12 p. 10 p.
In the main headings, e.g. 1, 2, 3 In sub-headings, e.g. 2.3, 4.5 In further sub-headings, e.g. 6.1.7 The main text Descriptions of figures and tables
Space between lines
1.5 lines in the main text
If the work is exceptionally large, 1 line can be used, however, this decreases the read-ability of the text 1 line in all headings and sub-headings
Margin size A4
(210 x 297 mm)
Upper 25 mm, lower 25 mm, right 25 mm, left 35 mm (or 25 mm + 10 mm on the cover).
Orientation Vertical
Some pages may be horizontal. The descrip-tion under figures and tables for horizontal pages should be on the right-hand side of the sheet.
The documentation of the engineer diploma thesis (introduction + sections + sum-
mary) should contain between 30 and 70 pages. It should consist of no less than 4 and no
more than 7 sections.
A necessary formal requirement is abidance with the correct structure of documen-
tation: the weight and scale of the particular sections should be proportional to the whole
size. It is advisable that the size of the description of the work undertaken independ-
ently by the diploma candidate should be at least half of the whole size of the docu-
mentation of the engineer diploma thesis project.
The author of the engineer diploma thesis should pay particular attention to:
- highlighting the existence of other possible solutions to the presented problem/task,
- a description and explanation of the reasoning behind the selected method for solving
the problem following the principle of - “I say how and why”
- the fact that the presented solution does not exhaust the subject and may be a basis for
further consideration,
- a description of the difficulties in realizing the project,
- a critical evaluation of the results obtained during tests.
1.3. Objects in the engineer diploma thesis documentation
1.3.1. Tables
For the presentation of written sets, as well as those containing figures and symbols,
tables are used. Tables should be placed as close as possible to the relevant text and num-
bered in order in the given section. It is preferable to avoid abbreviations in column head-
ings. Units should be placed in a line directly under the column heading. Tables are num-
bered with Arabic numerals and should contain a reference to the main section as well as
to the order of tables in the section. The table title, preceded by Tab. and the number,
should be placed above the table (Tab. 1) with the font size 10. Before the table descrip-
tion, there should be a space of one line. If the table contains information from a literature
source, the source should appear directly in the table description at the end. If the table
needs to be moved to the next page, its Arabic numerals are located under the column
heading and these numbers transfer to the next page. Tables are placed in the centre of the
text, however, the text in the table should be:
- for column headings – bold and centred,
- in the case of left-hand side labels – aligned to the left-hand edge of the column,
- for numbers – aligned to the right-hand edge of the column,
- for other spaces – centred.
1.3.2. Figures
Graphics (figures, photographs and charts) should be placed in the centre of the
page (Fig. 1). The objects should have a light background (charts – white) and a resolution
of 300 dpi (e.g. for a figure with the same width as one page, in other words 16 cm, the
required resolution is 1920 pixels). If an element of the object is a description, its font size
should be at least 10. These objects are numbered with Arabic numerals and should con-
tain a reference to the main section and to the order of figures in the section. The title of
the object is preceded by Fig. (as well as for photographs and charts) which should be
placed under the figure (graph / chart) with a font size of 10. After the title of graphic ob-
jects, a space of one line should be applied. If the object comes from a literature source
(including the Internet!), the source should appear directly after the title. If the description
of the figure does not contain the source, it means that it was created by the author of the
documentation.
Fig.4.1. Siłownik pneumatyczny: 1 - tuleja cylindrowa, 2 - zespół tłoka z tłoczyskiem, 3 - pokrywa przednia, 4 - pokrywa tylna, 5 – tulejka, 6 - pierścień zgarniający, 7 - pierścień uszczelniający, 8 - zawory zwrotne, 9 - zawory dławiące, 10 – uszczelka, 11 – pierścienie gumowe.
1.3.3. Mathematical formulas
During the use of general formulas it is desirable to avoid the formula proofing and
only provide the initial and end forms with appropriate explanations and numbering (it is
also possible to place the proof in an attachment), e.g.:
JDM s
s 2=τ
(3.1)
where: Ms – turning moment,
D – diameter,
J – moment of inertia.
Mathematical formulas should be centred and numbered in increasing order. The
numbers of mathematical formulas in rounded brackets should aligned to the right-hand
margin and should contain a reference to the main section as well as to the order in the sec-
tion, for example (3.15) means the fifteenth formula in the third section.
During the use of mathematical functions, the measurement units used should be in-
cluded, e.g.:
1963.04
5.014.3 2
=⋅
=F [m2] (3.2)
Both before and after mathematical formulas, there should be a space of one line.
1.4. Footnotes and references to literature
During preparation of the documentation, footnotes are used to increase its readability
and clarity. Footnotes should be placed on the same page as the referenced part of text and
limited to the so-called digressive footnotes – unconnected with the used text sources.
These are used when the author makes comments worth noting but which would disrupt
the logic of the reasoning.
Reference to material sources (bibliography) and their list should be conducted in line
with the so-called Harvard System. The particular positions are numbered with successive
Arabic numerals in square brackets in alphabetical order. The bibliography is placed at the
end of the documentation and represents a list ordered alphabetically. The bibliography
entries depend on the type of source and take the following forms:
− Book – the author's surname and initials, title. (volume, part), location, publishing house and year published, e.g. Billingsley P.: Probability and Measure. New York, John Wiley 1979 − Sections in collective publications - the author's surname and initials, title. In: editor's surname and initials, title, place, publishing house and year of publication, Tymińska A.: Zasady utrzymywania czystości w magazynach bibliotecznych i w księgo-zbiorach. In: Działania profilaktyczne w bibliotece. Wskazówki metodyczne. Ed. E. Sta-chowska-Musiał. Warsaw: Wydaw. SBP 1998 p.14-16 − Article in a scientific magazine - the author's surname and initials, article title, magazine title, year of publication, month or annual (volume): range of pages from - to e.g.: Berk-hoff A.P., Sensor scheme design for active structural acoustic control, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 108 (3), 2000, 1037- 1045 − Article in scientific conference - the author's surname and initials, title, conference title, place and range of dates from-to, year of conference, range of pages from - to e.g.: Bourquin F., Collet M., Joly M., Lene F., Ratier R., An efficient feedback control algo-rithm for beam: Experimental results, Mat. Active 97 Conference, Budapest, Hungary, 1997, 247 – 258 − Electronic publications - the title, URL address and the date of obtaining the informa-tion e.g.: Studencki Klub Turystyczny Politechniki Gdańskiej "FIFY". Gdańsk: SKT PG "FIFY". Available: http://www.pg.gda.pl/~fify/listy.php (visited 20.09.2010). If the publication has more than six authors, the list should be shortened by using the words et al. after the sixth surname. Legal acts are normally written as follows: Budget act for the year 2000 from 21 January 2000. “Journal of Laws” 2000, no 7, pos.85.
4.3. Documentation of the constructions and software
If it is necessary to construct a work-station, it should be precisely described how to
create such a work-station (together with photographs). Most projects which result in
working software must possess step-by-step instructions for use and contain a demonstra-
tion of the project's activity. The best formats for film demonstrations are AVI, flash, etc.
When implementing algorithms, code modularization should be used. For projects
undertaken in the C/C++ programming languages, important algorithms in the project
should be contained in separate libraries (dll, lib, header and additionally source) with a
well documented API.
The aim of such an approach is to make it possible to use solutions created during
the realization of projects by other student groups, as well as to create a database of algo-
rithms. Some time should also be dedicated to the testing of the created library and to at-
tach the test documentation (e.g. sets of test data and instructions).
The main objective of documenting the construction and software is to ensure the
flow of information enabling the use of the created tools and algorithms, as well as to en-
sure the repeatability of the experiments conducted within the project. The documentation
should contain:
− a general description of used software (e.g. installations, instructions of use, etc.),
− a description of the conditions in which tests were conducted,
− the format of processed data and the result data.
The instructions of use for the software must be short and compact, written with the
needs of future users in mind, with the assumption that they have only basic knowledge of
the algorithm details, but have to know how to activate and use it correctly within the pro-
ject program. There should be a detailed explanation of the aims of the program or its
fragments as well as a list of initial conditions which must be met (operating system, in-
stallations, graphic resolution, initial files etc.). Then, there should be a step-by-step guide
to using the program, with critical places illustrated by a copy of the screen. It is recom-
mended to first provide general guidelines, and later to provide more specific examples.
4.4. List of contents of attached data carriers (cd, dvd)
The data carriers must be placed in particular catalogues:
− according to the type of work – sample or all pictures, which are the basis of creating
and testing algorithms (with possible reference to analogue material – title of re-
corded video cassettes),
− SRC – the source created procedure together with the project, makefile etc.,
− EXE – the program prepared for activation together with possible configuration files
or other necessary components,
− DOC – text report in electronic form (MS WORD as well as PDF or PS).
4.5. DESCRIPTION OF IT PROCEDURE
This section has a strictly technical character. It begins with information about the
programming environment, and possibly modularization and compilation options, files
which must be attached and used “foreign” libraries. Later, the main procedures are de-
scribed according to the standard presented in Tab. 2, together with specifications neces-
sary for their correct functioning.
Tab. 4.5.1.
