Content, progress and pedagogy of the module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Hold knowledge of analytical, numerical and/or experimental methods for analysis of advanced tasks within the field of specialization.
- Understand the connection between engineering and scientific theory and their application in practical problems.
Skills
- Be able to apply analytical, numerical and/or experimental methods for analysis and solving of advanced tasks 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 challenges within the field of specialization.
Competences
- Be able to handle development-oriented situations in connection to either studying or working.
- Be able to analyse 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.
- Be able to use the correct terminology in oral, written or 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 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.
The project may be carried out individually or in groups.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 25 ECTS project module the expected workload is 750 hours for the student.
