• write a scientific report.

Content

The students should, in a project form, plan, formulate and solve a specific assignment within the field of nanotechnology and functional materials. The assignment can be part of a larger project. Lectures will present and discuss elements such as project work methodology, presentation techniques, report writing and literature search.

Instruction

Lectures, seminars and individual project supervision.

Assessment

Final written report and oral presentation.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated
