Course Syllabus

The course syllabus for ME204X is available as a PDF. It contains detailed information about the course, including its content, learning outcomes, and examination.

Content and Learning Outcomes

Course Disposition

The main part of the degree project course consists of independently carrying out a scientifically based investigation assignment, resulting in a written thesis. To ensure relevant, interesting, and well-founded results, the work is based on knowledge of the topic and it develops new knowledge by means of scientific theories and methods.

Course Contents

A good degree project requires an interplay between theory, method, and empiricism, requiring the student to move metaphorically and literally between the employer's world and the academic world. As a support, the department offers continuous supervision and a series of seminars throughout the degree project.

Intended Learning Outcomes

After passing the degree project course, the student should be able to:

• Demonstrate the ability to develop and explain knowledge of the scientific basis, a deep understanding of current research and development, and deep method knowledge of the chosen subject area
• Search, collect, and integrate knowledge systematically and identify needs of additional knowledge
• Identify, analyse, assess, and handle complex phenomena, issues, and situations, even with limited information
• Plan and with adequate methods carry out qualified assignments within given time frames, and evaluate this work
• Account clearly and discuss his conclusions, knowledge, and arguments orally and in writing in dialogue with different groups
