knowledge of basic design concepts;
associating relationships between form, function, and design of objects;
knowledge of basic industrial technology;
knowledge of technical drawing;
three-dimensional modeling skills;
successful completion of the second year;

For the semester project: execution of the project in accordance with the adopted assumptions. Presentation before the Faculty Committee should include: boards presenting the solution, scale models or prototypes (depending on the topic), design documentation in the form of sketches, visualization and models, and a multimedia presentation showing the assumptions, design process and the final solution.
In the case of a thesis project: execution of an undergraduate project and its public defense. The undergraduate project is to test the ability to design objects conditioned by market, usage, technology and environmental requirements. The bachelor's diploma may be the realization of a project of an object, a piece of space or a message, emphasizing an innovative way of shaping and constructing the designed objects. The project is evaluated by an examination committee whose members sovereignly assign grades for the project. The final grade for the project is the average of the grades awarded by the committee members.
The Bachelor's project is carried out in a selected design studio.

evaluation of the artistic and technical level of the design solution;
evaluation of the degree of innovation of the design solution;
evaluation of the quality of the presentation of the project, which consists of a graphical representation of the concept on the boards, the implementation of the model and a lecture combined with a multimedia presentation;
evaluation of the degree of involvement in the project and the ability to effectively translate the guidance and guidelines obtained in the course of training, discussions and didactic dialogue (master-student relationship);

Two design topics are pursued in semesters V, VI, and VII (if the studio is not pursuing an undergraduate degree in semester VII):

Extended research topic - defined in an open way, allowing free interpretation of the problem. The realization of this theme is dependent on the student's interests, related to his/her own concept of shaping the design experience. There is considerable freedom in choosing the area of design, with an emphasis on designing: everyday objects, furniture, elements of public space equipment, toys, educational objects, equipment for the disabled, vehicles, etc. The method of presentation of the project is determined individually, depending on its specificity.

Simpler design task - opening students to unusual situations and situations and experiences. The task is aimed at stimulating an innovative approach, searching for interesting, unconventional solutions concerning utility aspects, material or technology.

In semester VII (if the undergraduate diploma is being done in the studio in semester VII)) only the undergraduate diploma project is carried out.
