Content and learning outcomes
Course disposition
Course contents
A project consists of an individual task with focus on and a topic within a certain area of physics. Deepening in the subject of physics within the framework of the project. Deepening in communicating both in writing and orally.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
- Apply knowledge and skills, acquired during the education, to problems in a chosen field of physics.
- Formulate problems and use appropriate solution methods in the chosen field.
- Use independent study forms to consolidate and deepen his/her knowledge in physics.
- Present the work in both written and oral forms with requirements for content, structure and language.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
English B / English 6
Basic knowledge in physics corresponding to what is given in the first three years of the education in the bachelor program Engineering Physics.
Literature
You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- PRO1 - Project, 7.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- PRO2 - Project, 7.5 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.
The project must be presented in both written and oral forms, i.e. the course element PRO1 is written and the course element PRO2 is oral. Usually, PRO1 consists of a written report, while PRO2 is an oral presentation in the form of a public seminar, which should be similar to those for advanced level degree project presentations.
Other requirements for final grade
Approved project work, i.e. approved course elements PRO1 and PRO2.
Examiner
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.
