Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Holds knowledge of analytical and experimental methods for analysis of advanced engineering tasks.
• Understands the connection between theory and practice.

Skills

• Is able to solve complex business problems by applying advanced management engineering theory, methods and tools.
• Is able to evaluate and choose among potentially relevant theories, concepts and methodologies applied in the analysis and solution design of a practical business engineering problem.
• Is able to develop solution alternatives and evaluate consequences of solution alternatives and make a well-informed choice based on that.
• Is able to evaluate the relevance and limitations of the theories, concepts, methods and tools actually applied in the project.

Competences

• Is able to analyze and solve an actual problem of industrial relevance through application of systematic research and development processes, including advanced analytical, experimental and/or numerical methods and models.

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 semester is completed as a project-oriented stay in a company where the student is included in the company’s daily work and carry out independent project work on an industrial problem relevant for the company. Concurrent to the work in the company, the student makes a project report, which is evaluated after the ending of the internship. A project-oriented stay in a company has to be approved by the study board.

Extent and expected workload

Since it is a 30 ECTS project module the expected workload is 900 hours for the student.
