SF101X Degree Project in Applied Mathematics and Industrial Economics, First Cycle 15.0 credits

Degree Project consists of an individual assignment within a problem area that is decided by examiner. It should normally constitute a part of a specialisation in the first cycle of studies. The Bachelor's essay should be equivalent to 10 weeks of full-time studies. The work should be presented in a written report and an oral presentation at an open seminar.

After the course, the students should be able to

• apply relevant knowledge and skills that have been acquired within the main field of study on a given problem,
• within given frames, independently be able to analyse and discuss issues and solve larger problems on a basic level within the main field of study,
• document and present their work according to the requirements of structure, formalities and language
• reflect on, evaluate and review their own and others' scientific results,
• identify their need for additional knowledge and take responsibility for their knowledge progression.

In general: the main part of the studies, at least 120 credits of which at least 108 credits among the compulsory courses on the engineering programme in Industrial economics and the course in optimization (SF1811) should be completed before the Bachelor's degree project may be started. It falls on examiner to see to it that the student has appropriate in-depth subject study and that the student has completed sufficient parts of the studies before the Bachelor's degree project is started. The Bachelor's degree project should normally be carried out under the education last semester.

Självständig litteratursökning och litteraturstudier inom det givna problemområdet förväntas.
Kurslitteratur kan även föreslås av examinator eller handledare.

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

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.

The Bachelor's degree project is carried out individually or together with another student. In the latter case, examiner should see to it that each student's effort corresponds to the requirements for individual Bachelor's degree project.
The Bachelor's degree project is presented orally and in written form in English or Swedish. Public discussion and participation in review of other Bachelor's degree projects can be required for accomplished course.
The Bachelor's degree project will be assessed according to the criteria below within the bases of assessment Process, Engineering and scientific contents and Presentation. The grade is assigned by examiner as an overall assessment after the degree report has been examined with regards to plagiarism. To pass, the Bachelor's degree project may not fail according to one of the three bases of assessment.
The grading criteria should also be seen as a tool to support the student to work against a high aim by clarifying requirements and expectations .
A student who has not completed his or her work within eight months risks to fail the course. Decision is taken if needed in consultation between examiner and programme co-ordinator.
