AF259X Degree Project in Fluid and Climate Technology, Second Cycle 30.0 credits

The degree project should constitute a part of the specialisation within the main field of study Civil Engineering and Urban Management (samhällsbyggnad) at second cycle level to satisfy the requirements for a degree. It implies that the degree project normally should be carried out in Fluid and Climate Technology.

After completed degree project, the student should be able to

1. show knowledge of the disciplinary foundation of the chosen subject area and proven experience, an advanced understanding of current research and development work as well as advanced method knowledge.

2. demonstrate the ability to search for, collect and integrate knowledge and identify his or her needs in a comprehensive, critical, and systematic way for further knowledge.

3. demonstrate the ability to identify, analyse, assess and handle complex phenomena, issues and situations, even with limited information.

4. demonstrate the ability to plan, and with adequate methods, carry out high-quality assignments within given time frames, as well as to evaluate the work.

5. demonstrate the ability to develop and evaluate products, processes, systems, methods or technical solutions, taking into consideration people's abilities and needs, and society's goals for economic, social and ecological sustainable development.

6. demonstrate orally and in writing the ability to, in dialogue with different groups, clearly account for and discuss his or her conclusions, including the knowledge and arguments that are the basis of such conclusions.

7. demonstrate the ability to exercise judgement considering relevant scientific, social and ethical aspects.

8. demonstrate the skills required to participate in research and development work or to independently work in other advanced contexts.

All courses that are required for issuing the Degree of Bachelor should be fully completed with a pass mark. At least 60 credits of courses for second-cycle studies should be fully completed with a pass mark. These 60 credits should include all courses in the programme relevant to the degree project and a course in theory of science and research methodology.

The examiner is responsible to evaluate special admission requirements

Relevant literature to be able to carry out the degree project

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• XUPP - Examination, 30.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The degree project should normally be carried out under the last semester of the programme. To pass degree project may the achievement not be failed according to one of the intended learning outcomes of the course
