EI2520 Electromagnetic Engineering, Project Course 9.0 credits

The course is conducted in project groups of 4-5 students. After an introduction including modeling and project management these are awarded a number of projects or tasks related to the development of new electrical components and systems. Course implementation is done by working with them. This requires knowledge taught at the courses provided by the department. Since the various project tasks require different skills is a first task to identify the specific knowledge needs of each individual project. The collection of the necessary knowledge is achieved through direct participation in the given courses, but it is in many cases necessary to independently find and assimilate this knowledge that is available in the form of courseware for the given courses in the department.
A second task is to distribute the group work to acquire the necessary knowledge for the project and make a schedule for implementing the project.
The project task consists of a theoretical investigation of weather a proposed technical solution of a problem related to an electromechanical component or system is possible to realize practically. This study will then be verified experimentally using a scaled down concept prototype or a physical device.
To limit the scope of the experimental section, the theoretical study is used to identify what is critical for the proposal to be implemented in a practical application.
Since limited resources are available for the experimental work, it is necessary to use and interpret the results from the theoretical study, which normally includes a simulation model of the current component or system.

The course aim is that the participants after completing the course in the form of a projects should be able to define, plan, and carry out a technical feasibility study with respect to proposed electrical components and systems.
After the course, participants will be able to

• organize a project for the implementation of a complex task
• plan a project group's work with respect to the boundaries between the project members' functions and tasks
• schedule the work so that the work can be performed within a set time frame and such that an uniform and equitable division of labor between project members can be achieved
• write status reports of a project at predetermined times
• write a project report, where apart from the background, methods, implementation, results obtained and conclusions are included
• evaluate the quality of labor of an executed project
• in oral form present a project for clients and the public

The course literature consists in large part of selected parts of the learned in earlier courses given by the Department.

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

• PROA - Project Task 1, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• PROB - Project Task 2, 7.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, 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.

Performance is reported as the three subprojects

• PRO1 : project management, structuring of work , preparation of schedule
• PRO2 : identification of additional knowledge needs, implementation , demonstration of technical and physical knowledge and skills
• PRO3 : evaluation of the technical solution , reports and oral presentations

Pass grades in all examination parts.
