Entry requirements
140 credit points of completed courses within the current engineering programme are expected.
The Degree project is normally the finishing course of the education and is performed in the 5th year of the programme.
Aims
By taking the Degree project course the student is to acquire practice and improve the ability of
Content
In the Degree project the student shall apply broaden and deepen knowledge achieved during the education within the programme by solving and presenting independently a relevant problem within a limited time. The Degree project can even include technical applications in industrial environment.
All the degree projects deal with problems from the main subject, technology. This means a demand for technical relevance and for placing the work in technical context. The task of the Degree project should be related to the aims of the programme and should follow the general outlines of its own Degree project course.
The course also contains studies of additional literature connected to the chosen subject.
The Degree project conveys contacts within industry and/or academic research.
The Degree projects performed at the School of Entrepreneurship in Uppsala requires that the student contributes in a project which exploits technical ideas and new scientific knowledge. The extent of the work corresponds to 20 credit points for each individual student. At least 5 of these credit points should contain an individual and independent specialised study.
Instruction
Research or development work, written report, individual supervision and seminars.
Assessment
The work shall be presented orally at a seminar. The peer review of another Degree project work within the same programme is also a part of the examination.
The Degree project should be presented in a report written in English and Swedish. All reports should contain a popular scientific abstract in ca 2 pages in Swedish. A report written in Swedish should even contain a short scientific abstract in English. The report shall contain an introduction to the subject area, a description of the objective of the work and the overall design to solve the problem, experimental methods used, results, discussion, references to the literature and a list of literature read in connection with the thesis work.
