DD150X Degree Project in Engineering and Management, First Cycle 15.0 credits

The master project must treat a problem within engineering, computer science and/or management. The problem must focus on questions from the field of engineering and management that are of interest to investigate and analyze. Projects often result in a prototype, or theoretically oriented analysis but very seldom in a finished product or final solution. A time schedule for the project must be made. The work is presented in a written report and in an oral presentation.

After passing the degree project course you will be able to

• apply standard methods of practice in industry, administration and academic environments regarding planning, conducting, reporting and evaluating independent design and investigation projects,
• independently plan, conduct and report (orally and in writing) a design or investigation in the engineering and management area,
• collect and systematize requirements and expectations on the project deliverables, and asses the reasonableness of these in light of available time and resources (15 credits),
• find, obtain, evaluate and compile information relevant for the project realization,
• select a course of action and prepare, follow and adapt a plan for the project,
• write reports in Swedish or English complying to established standards of design, language, style and content,
• orally report project results with requirements on preparation, content, style and time used,
• improve knowledge and skills in an area of computer science.

To be decided individually.

• XUPP - Examination Question, 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.

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

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.
