EH1010 Project Course in Electrical Engineering 7.5 credits

Elektroprojekt

Developing new technical systems is today a process that requires not only technical knowledge but also a structural approach including planning and presentation of the task. A successful participation in such a team work therefore requires the ability to:

  • Separate a task into clear problem definitions.
  • Plan and manage the work according to the problem definitions.
  • Work in a team
  • Present the results both orally and in written form.

To get an insight into electrotechnical project work a practical task is combined with theoretical studies of project management. The theoretical part deals with fundamental project management as planning and documentation.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course, participants shall be able to:

  • describe the fundamental prerequisites for engineering development work and independently be able to perform such a work effort
  • describe and use the principles of project work
  • present technical information in oral and written form
  • mention some fundamental prerequisites for industrial projects
  • create the fundamental documents required for planning, following up, and finishing a project
  • describe an interesting application of electrical engineering
  • make use of the knowledge of project work and apply it throughout the education

Course main content

The course consists of planning, carrying out and presenting an electrical engineering task as a project. The task represents an activity in the field of electrical engineering at KTH.

The theoretical part consists of project models, project management, documents in project management like start-up report and progress report and finally concluding and evaluating a project.

The practical part consists of planning, carrying out and presentation of a technical task. The projects are carried out in teams of 4-5 students at the different laboratories belonging to the school of electrical engineering.
