Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The student should work with a current research or development project, which includes posing problems that can give specialisation/broadening within chemistry and chemical engineering. The project will present opportunities for information retrieval, practical work, and report writing. Then the project is carried out in groups involving lectures and reflections concerning prerequisites for modern leadership. Within the framework for the projects, one should identify and develop a business plan that includes sustainable business development.

Each project group has a supervisor

Intended learning outcomes

1. Show knowledge of the disciplinary foundation of the chosen subject area, applicable methods and orientation in current research and development and show advanced knowledge within some part of the subject area.

2. Demonstrate the ability to search, collect and use relevant information critically and identify the need for additional knowledge.

3. Demonstrate the ability to formulate, assess and handle problems and critically discuss phenomena, issues and situations.
