MF108X Degree Project in Engineering and Management, First Cycle 15.0 credits

Course offerings are missing for current or upcoming semesters.
Headings with content from the Course syllabus MF108X (Spring 2010–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course is built upon a deeper individual study of a mechatronic problem or subtopic of particular interest. Partly through seminars, but mainly by individual search, the necessary knowledge is acquired to enlighten, answer and discuss the selected problem area.

Parts of the course is performed in groups of 2-3 students whereas other parts are done individually.

In addition to the written and oral presentation of the work performed, the course also includes critical opposition and discussion of other peoples work.

Intended learning outcomes

After a completed course, the students should be able to:

  • Use independent methods of study to deepen individual knowledge;
  • Present the developed work in a written report as well as in web-based format, in both cases with demands content, structure and language;
  • Give an oral presentation of the performed work as well as opposing on other peoples work in front of a larger auditorium
  • Formulate a mechatronic design or analysis problem of limited complexity and  search for solutions by the use of modelling, simulation and computer based tools;
  • Develop/design/select a component or subsystem and verify the characteristics of the solution by using e.g. simulation;

Will be communicated at the beginning of the course.

Examination and completion

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

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • PRO1 - Project, 15.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, 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.

Other requirements for final grade

Written report and presence at mandatory sessions. (PRO1; 15 credits)

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

No information inserted

Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

No information inserted

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
