DD144X Degree Project in Computer Science, First Cycle 15.0 credits

The thesis work should study a problem of interest to computer science. In order for the task to be suitable there has to be interesting questions from the field to investigate

• Apply skills and knowledge acquired as part of the computer science engineering program on a given problem
• Independently analyze and discuss relevant issues and solve substantial problems in the computer science area
• Apply standard methods of practice in industry, administration and academic environments regarding planning, conducting, reporting and evaluating independent design and investigation projects,
• Reflect on, evaluate, and critically examine own and others scientific results
• Document and present the work, orally and in writing, with demands on structure, content, presentation, formal content, style, and writing
• Identify own need of information gathering and independently acquire the knowledge and skills needed to solve the problem
• Independently plan and conduct a design or investigation in the computer science area
• Independently collect and systematize requirements and expectations on the project deliverables, and asses the reasonableness of these in light of available time and resources.

The following is required to start the thesis work:

• at least 120 credits, including the following,
• at least 30 hp courses in mathematics/numerical analysis,
• at least 40 credits with increasingly in-depth studies in Computer Science and Engineering,
• prerequisites enough to carry out the project.

Bestäms individuellt.

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

• XUPP - Task, 15.0 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.

In this course all the regulations of the code of honor at the School of Computer science and Communication apply, see: http://www.kth.se/csc/student/hederskodex/1.17237?l=en_UK.
