    Explanation of codes

    The code indicates the education cycle and in-depth level of the course in relation to other courses within the same main field of study according to the requirements for general degrees:

    First cycle

    • G1N: has only upper-secondary level entry requirements
    • G1F: has less than 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
    • G1E: contains specially designed degree project for Higher Education Diploma
    • G2F: has at least 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
    • G2E: has at least 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements, contains degree project for Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science
    • GXX: in-depth level of the course cannot be classified

    Second cycle

    • A1N: has only first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
    • A1F: has second-cycle course/s as entry requirements
    • A1E: contains degree project for Master of Arts/Master of Science (60 credits)
    • A2E: contains degree project for Master of Arts/Master of Science (120 credits)
    • AXX: in-depth level of the course cannot be classified

  • Grading system: Fail (U), Pass (G)
  • Established: 2011-03-07

  • Revised by: The Faculty Board of Science and Technology
  • Applies from: Autumn 2022
  • Entry requirements:

    120 credits in science/engineering including Micro and nanotechnology I. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.

  • Responsible department: Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

  • analyse an existing micro-construction that may also have elements of nanotechnology,
  • suggest and give grounds for an improved construction,
  • prepare documentation needed for fabrication and act as a client during component fabrication,
  • develop a test plan, construct a test setup and perform an evaluation of the component.

Content

The task, as a part of a group project, is to develop a construction according to a given specification. The suggested construction is to be adjusted in accordance with manufacturing restrictions, as well as evaluated using simple modelling. Written reports describing both manufacturing and modelling will be produced. An test plan describing construction verification will be made and documented. After a review, the construction and the test plan will be finalized. The project group will, within given limits and in collaboration with the manufacturer, prepare documentation needed for component fabrication. The component will be fabricated under supervision from the students in the project group. The latter will plan desig and construct a test setup as well as characterize the component. The results will be summarized in a report and a presentation. Training in technical/scientific literature search as a part of a literature study is provided.

Instruction

Project meetings with supervisors, seminars.

Assessment

Evaluation of the written design documentation and fabrication documentation (4 credits). Final report as well as oral presentation and opposition (6 credits).

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
