KD2907 Project in Chemistry 10.5 credits

Course is designed as an individual project work equivalent 7 weeks of full-time job. A current problem or research project in chemistry and chemical engineering are formulated and analyzed in conjunction with interested teachers. The task can be theoretical and / or experimental nature.

In general, the project begins with studies of the project's background and with a smaller literature review. Then the task is planned and, where appropriate formulated a project plan for the experimental work. When the task is completed, describes the method and the results are analyzed, discussed and documented in a written report of good quality

After completing the course, students should be able to:

• apply knowledge and skills in chemistry and chemical engineering sought in earlier studies
• analyze a specific research task or problem
• obtain the necessary information for the formulation of the problem and plan how the task can be solved
• perform experimental and theoretical treatment of the task, if needed
• look for information in scientific literature
• summarize the results in a written report

Appropriate courses for the chosen problem, at least 150 credits in chemistry and chemical engineering, 20 university credits (hp) in mathematics and 6 university credits (hp) in computer science or corresponding.
The examiner will determine if prerequisites are sufficient.

Selected in conjunction with the project assignment

• PRO1 - Project, 10.5 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.

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

Approved planning / project plan and approved in writing final report (PRO1; 10,5 hp).
