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

  • planning and solving a problem independently

  • applying knowledge achieved during the studies

  • identifying, formulating and solving problems

  • presenting a work in a written report and orally at a seminar

  • writing popular scientific reports

  • demonstrating a scientific and engineering approach

    Content

    Individual work where knowledge achieved within

    the programme is applied and deepened. The

    subject of the thesis is chosen before start of

    the work by the student in consultation with

    the supervisor and the examiner. The work is

    performed in an industrial company, an university

    department or at a central or local authority.

    The course also contains studies of literature

    connected to the chosen subject.

    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.
