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

Eligibility for the course Degree Project in Electrical Engineering, first cycle 15.0 credits: eligibility for studies in school year 3 in the Engineering Programme in Electrical Engineering or completion of 120 credits compulsory courses according to the programme syllabus before the beginning of this course.

Passed courses according to the requiremets of the programme.

–

Course syllabus and hand-out material from the seminar series, as well as independently obtained technical or scientific information in each context.

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

• XUPP - Degree project, 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.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Examination takes place continuously during the course through a number of different course components. All course components give credit. To pass the course at least 1 credit must be obtained for each course component and the total sum of all credits must be at least 12 of 20 possible credits.

Should 0 credits be earned on any course component and/or the sum of credit is between 9 and 11 credits, it is possible to submit supplementary make-up work. The supplementary make-up work will always be significantly more extensive than the regular assignment. All supplementary make-up work must be submitted no later than 3 weeks after the project presentation. The next opportunity to submit compementary work will be when the course is given the following year.
