Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

  • Preliminary study
  • Problem approach, goals, purpose and limitations.
  • Study of literature or information gathering which display present knowledge from this technical area.
  • Selection of methods and ways of solution.
  • Problem solving.
  • Report there analyses, result, individual thoughts and recommendations are of great importance.

Intended learning outcomes

The comprehensive goal is that the student by his own should be capable to apply methods from his engineering training.

After completing the course the student should be able to:

  • apply knowledge and skills from the education on real problems.
  • analyze and treat individually a major problem issue from this technical area.
  • show ability to reflect about, value and to do critical examination of individual results and from others.
  • do documentation and presentation for given group of people with demands on structure, formalities and style.
  • Show ability to identify the need for more knowledge and continuous competence development.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • XUP1 - Subreport, 11.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • XUP2 - Final Report, 4.0 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 include problem approaches which give deeper/wider studies of the technical area. The work is often at a workplace outside KTH. The student is supervised during the degree project by a tutor from KTH as well as from the company. The degree project is accomplished individually or together with another student. The project should be accounted for both in written and oral form in English or Swedish.

The degree project will be marked by these criteria:

  • Process
  • Engineering and scientific contents
  • Presentation

For a passed degree project the student must not fail in anyone of three criteria above.

The mark is decided by the examiner as an overall evaluation after the report has been scrutinized for plagiarism.

Moreover look at the instructions for degree project at ITM/TMT

Other requirements for final grade

Planning and accomplishing of the work according to schedule, written report and oral presentation.

Passed account and passed concluding account.
