FSD3203 Vehicle Engineering Research Training 7.5 credits
The PhD students are trained to formulate clear problem descriptions and research objetives. Thehy are trained to present relevant theory. They will propose a structure for the study and receives feedback from the course leader. They evaluate the structure through a simulation study. If relevant, the structure of the study will be revised. The study is planned and performed by the doctoral student in, for example, a vehicle simulator or in a scaled-down, prororype or real vehicle. The results are analyzed and summarized in a scientific report. The result is also communicated orally.
