Abstract
Abstract Analysis of the experimental results presented in the following chapter reveals experiences with introduction of active learning methods in basic mathematics courses at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. Experiment was implemented in the academic year 2018/19, in basic courses Mathematics I and Mathematics II scheduled in the first year of bachelor study programs and in subject Basics of Statistical Analysis for bachelor students in the second year of their studies. The aim of the experiment was to find achieved level of knowledge acquisition and to compare abilities of students to solve mathematical problems individually or by collective work and collaboration in small groups. Anonymous questionnaire answered by students after completion of the experiment provided rich feedback and overview of their opinions, from which their attitudes towards different teaching methods applied in 3 compulsory subjects from their study programs could be deduced and summarised. Based on received data, research analysed also results that students achieved comparing their achievement from the secondary schools and in both maths courses at the university.

Summary
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME), as one of the faculties of STU, delivers study through seven bachelor programs of 3 years duration (leading to the Bachelor of Science degree - BSc, and twelve 2-year graduate programs leading to the Master of Science degree - MSc or Engineer (Ing.). Both programs operate on a winter and summer semester system. An analysis of the results of experiment carried out at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, within the DRIVE MATH project activities is presented in the following. Evaluation of experiment results and students’ achievements is presented in statistical data supplemented by analysis of feedback obtained from students
