F3291 Final Project

Prerequisites

All courses from the 1st  year of the MSc. Programme.

Course Objectives

The purpose of the project work is to give the students experience in practical project work in small groups (3-6 students). Normally assignments are given that are industry related and will be carried out in cooperation with a company, but assignments can also be research related and be carried out within the different research groups in the departments. The assignments will normally be of a nature that requires use of knowledge from different subject areas, and the project groups can consist of students coming from the different departments. The students will, in the same semester, undertake a short course in Applied Cost Engineering. The assignments may necessitate that the students attain higher theoretical understanding within a specific subject field not yet being taught (or being taught at all) in their course of study. The work can be of both a theoretical or of an experimental and practical nature. The results of the work shall be documented in a written report. 

Learning Methods

The work is to be carried out as would have been done in a real life, in a team work situation. Each group will be assigned a tutor from the college and a co-tutor preferably from industry. Participation in the day to day work in the project group is obligatory.

Course Description

Practical project work preferably in co-operation with industry, and in so far as possible of a cross disciplinary nature.

Assessment Methods

Grades will be awarded based on the report and an oral examination of the work. The written report counts more towards the final grade than the examination. Grades will be given on an individual basis. If different individual grades are awarded within a project group a justification is required.
