AF122X Degree Project in Structural Engineering and Bridges, First Cycle 15.0 credits

The degree project should constitute a specialisation within the field of technology/the main field of study for first-cycle studies. The course is designed as a limited research project within Structural Engineering and Bridges.

After completed degree project, the student should be able to

Show knowledge of the disciplinary foundation of the chosen subject area, applicable methods and orientation in current research and development and show advanced knowledge within some part of the subject area

Demonstrate the ability to search, collect and use relevant information critically and identify his needs of additional knowledge

Demonstrate the ability to plan and with applicable methods carry out assignments within given time frames

Demonstrate the ability to orally and in writing in dialogue with different groups account for and discuss information, problem and solutions

Show such skills that is required to work independently within some part of the main field of study technology

Demonstrate understanding ofthe significance ofsustainabilitywithin the subject area

A general condition is that a main part of the studies, at least 120 credits of which 60 credits with progressive specialisation for first-cycle studies within the main field of study, should be completed before the degree project may be started. It is the examiner that decide if the student has the specialisation that is intended and that the student completed the main part of the studies before degree project is started. Exemption can after assessment be granted by the director of first and second cycle education.

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, 15.0 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.
