4B1015 Master's Project in Technical Acoustics 30.0 credits

subject defined by the examiner. It should normally be a specialization within the chosen engineering discipline and be on advanced level. The project work shall correspond to 20 weeks full time studies. The results must be reported in written form and orally at a public seminar.

The student is expected to demonstrate the ability to:

• apply relevant knowledge and skills to a given problem within the engineering field of study,
• independently plan and carry out a project in Sound and Vibration
• collect additional knowledge and information necessary for the completion of the task
• present the results in a written report and orally including a  discussion of the prerequisites, methodology, approach and results of the work

A major part of the courses, at least 240 university credits, must be finished before the start of the degree project. The examiner must ensure that the student has sufficient knowledge within the specialisation and has a sufficient number of university credits. Exemption from these requirements can be given by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. The degree project should normally be performed during the last term of the studies.

A literature review within the subject is required. Course literature may also be suggested by the examiner or supervisors.

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

• XUPP - Examination Question, 30.0 credits, grading scale: G, D, U

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.

XUPP - Examination Question, 30.0 credits, grade scale: P,F

together with another student. In the latter case the examiner must ensure that the contribution of each student corresponds to the requirements for an individual degree project. The project is reported in writing and orally in english or swedish.

The evaluation criteria for the degree project are given below, divided into the categories: Process, Engineering-related and Scientific Content and Presentation. The final grade is given by the examiner based on an overall assessment.  To get a passing grad the student can not be insufficient in any of the three evaluation categories. The evaluation criteria should also be regarded as a guideline for the students aiming at higher grades.

A student who is not finished with the dgree project within 8 months can be failed. This descision is taken by the examinar after consulting the programme director.
