What is a course syllabus?

Entry requirements

120 credits including Mathematics 30 credits. In addition 30 credits at advanced level, where 20 credits must be courses in computational science.

Learning outcomes

After the course, the student should be able to

  • describe the solution process when solving a large realistic computational problem;
  • argue for and evaluate sloution methods;
  • evaluate results and relate it to the project subject area;
  • communicate with expertise in the project subject area;
  • present and summarise the project work in form of a written report, poster and web presentation

Content

The students form groups of two or three and work on a project. This includes analysis and studies of the problem, mathematical modelling, numerical methods, computer implementation and interpretation and presentation of the results. The projects are taken from industry or university.

Lectures on oral and written presentation of scientific results on seminars, posters and on the web are given in parallel with the project.

Instruction

Projectwork in groups (2-3 students). Seminars and presentation skills training.

Assessment

Written report, oral presentation in seminars, poster, web presentation.
