Objectives

The project task gives the student training to plan, implement and present research- or development assignments, working independently or in a team. The aim is also to apply, deepen and broaden the knowledge from previous courses within the energy systems programme.

On completion of the course the student should:

• be able to independently identify, formulate and solve problems in a scientific manner and to implement tasks within given time frames

• be able to search and understand knowledge which is needed to implement the project

• show deepened knowledge within the topic of the project

• apply his/hers knowledge to reach a specified target

• compile and report the results of his/hers work in a written way and orally

Content

The implementation of the independent work is carried out individually or in cooperation with one or several other students. Projects performed in cooperation with students from other universities and/or with students with different academic backgrounds are encouraged. The task is chosen in close consultation with a supervisor, a subject reviewer and an examiner. The work is performed under the direction of a supervisor whether in a running research or a development project at the university department, company, agency, association or other organization.
