Start of the course: Mid-January (kick-off information meeting and first meeting with the supervisor)

End of the course: Late May (presentation day)

• Individual supervised work involving solution of a technical or scientific problem, oral and written communication of the work, as well as evaluation and critical review of own and others' results
• Seminar series addressing set-up of a work plan, information retrieval and source evaluation, reference management, written and oral presentation, as well as written and oral review of others' reports.
• Group assignment with focus on putting the results of project in a larger context, including a summary, a written reflection over the ethical importance of the project for a sustainable society and a popular description.

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

1.     describe basic concepts in at least one application field of electrical engineering

2.     identify where there is a need for additional knowledge; take responsibility for own development of knowledge; independently plan and carry out simple projects which require interaction with others to achieve an agreed-upon goal

3.     Solve larger problems at first cycle level within one application field of electrical engineering, as well as independently analyse and discuss questíons and issues involved

4)     show awareness of social and ethical aspects including economic, social and ecologically sustainable development

5)     reflect on, evaluate and critically review own and others' technical and scientific results

6.     document and present, orally as well as in writing, one's project work, using acceptable structure, formalities and language

At least 104 higher education credits from courses in the programme syllabus up to period 1 in year 3 must be completed latest at the start of period 2, in order for the student to be allowed to start the degree project.

Electrical Engineering students: see above.

Students from other KTH programmes:  The eglibility to enrole in the Bachelor’s degree project course is determined by your your KTH programm. If you are studying a different KTH programme, do the following: Ask the study counsellor at your school about the rules applicable to your specific programme. Submit your project choice via the link below anyway (even if you do not yet know if you will be admitted to the course). Course coordinator Anita Kullen (and you, the student) will receive information from your study counsellor in December whether are allowed to take this course or not.

Log in using your KTH account.

If you were admitted to the Electrical Engineering programme (300 credits) in 2021 or earlier, registration for the Bachelor’s degree project course EF112X is done by emailing svl-celte@kth.se between November 1 and 15.

If you are from another KTH school (SCI school or the energy & environment programme), you need to register for the EEF112X course at your respective KTH school.

In addition to registering for the Bachelor’s degree project course, you need to select which project you want to do. This is done at the bottom of this page. Note, the link for project selection is open 1-15 November.

SELECTING YOUR BACHELOR'S THESIS PROJECT

All projects offered in this course during spring 2027 will be published in a pdf-file October 2.

Read the project descriptions carefully and chose those seven projects wihch you like most.

Note, within the framework of this course, you cannot "tailor" your own project in collaboration with a supervisor; you must choose one of the available projects described.

Students from the Engineering Physics, Engineering Mathematics, Vehicle Engineering, and Energy and Environment programs are also welcome to select bachelor's thesis projects within this course.

PROJECT SELECTION

When do you select your projects?

The selection web-page is open 1-15 Nov. Note, your chances to get the best project does not depend on when you hand in your selection.

Project groups

The bachelor's thesis project is carried out in groups of two students. If you do not find a project partner, you will be assigned a partner with similar project preferences. Please note, however, that you have a better chance to get the project you want most, if you sign up with a partner. This, as it is not always easy for the course organizer to find a partner with matching preferences for you.

Make your selection

Read through the project descriptions and select the seven projects. You will be able to specify the priority when making your selection (priority 1 = the project you want most).

If you have already found a project partner, enter both names, email addresses, and degree programs in the same application. Submit only one application per group. If you do not yet have a project partner, sign up as a one-person group (you will then be assigned a partner).

Click here to submit your choices (the link is open from Nov 1  to Nov 15 at 23:59):

Project Selection Page

No automatic confirmation is sent upon submission! The results of the selection will be emailed to everyone who sent his/her selection in mid-December.

Good luck!
