Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Knowledge of subject-specific theory, methods and tools applied
for characterization, design, fabrication, or/and modelling.
- Knowledge on advanced applications within the field of
specialization for solving technological problems
- Understand the connection between analytical, numerical and
experimental methods.
Skills

methods for characterization, design and/or fabrication of
materials within the field of specialization.
- Be able to apply relevant theory to field specific
applications
- Be able to solve advanced engineering tasks within the
field of specialization.
- Be able to compare and evaluate assumptions, limitations and
uncertainties related to the methods applied in connection to
finding solutions of advanced engineering challenges.
Competences
- Be able to handle development-oriented situations in connection
to either studying or working.
- Be able to evaluate and apply subject-specific methods and
tools applied for characterization, design, fabrication, or/and
modelling.
- Be able to analyse and solve an actual problem within materials
engineering through application of systematic research and
development processes, including advanced analytical, experimental
and/or numerical methods and models.
- Be able to use the correct terminology in oral, written and
graphical communication and documentation of challenges and
solutions within the field of specialization.
Type of instruction
The project work is carried out as an independent work process
in which the students themselves organize and coordinate their
workload in collaboration with a supervisor.
The project may be carried out individually or in groups.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 30 ECTS project module the expected workload
is 900 hours for the student.
