Abstract

Wide theoretical background and engineering (professional and personal) competencies are the natural skills of new hire. Student individual and team projects provide a nice environment for best engineering practice. Introduction of the team projects requires the creation of teams of 4 to 5 students, and application of the obtained multidisciplinary knowledge. The enhancement of students´ motivation for active participation in projects may be achieved by involvement of an industrial partner, either by bringing the real life projects or by various sponsorships provided to the university. The student competition and participation in the contest for the best student R&D work contribute considerably to the students´ positive attitude to this form of education.
