Entry Requirements

Objectives

The project work 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 knowledge from previous courses within the Energy Systems Engineering Programme.

On completion of the course the student should be able to: -identify, formulate and solve problems and perform tasks within given time frames. -search for and process knowledge needed for performing a project -show deep knowledge on the topic of the project -compile and report the results of the project orally and in writing.

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 work task is chosen in close consultation with a supervisor, a subject reviewer and an examiner. The project shall be related to energy systems and will be performed in close connection to a university department, a company, a public body, or other organization, with guidance from a supervisor.

The student will independently:

• find a project by contacting the workplace and its representatives (normally the future supervisor)
• develop a project plan with support from the supervisor
• perform the work by gathering knowledge from various sources of high scientific and technical quality
• write a project report in Swedish or English (the report should have a summary in the language in which it is not written)
• make a self-evaluation of the report
• make an oral presentation of the project

The teaching consists of individual supervision. The course includes subject-integrated training of communication skills.

Examination Formats and Requirements for Passing the Course

Approved oral and written presentation of project work. In cases where the project work has been done in group, the individual contributions are documented (e.g. in a logbook) and reported in the project report and during the oral presentation. If there are special circumstances, the examiner may make exceptions from the specified examination method and allow other methods for examination of individual students. Special circumstances can e.g. be that you have been granted targeted support by SLU’s support coordinator for students with disabilities.

Other Information

Applications for the course must be submitted to the examiner on a special form. The proposal should include a workplace, a supervisor and a subject reviewer, and it should be approved by the examiner before the course start. The course may be conducted at any study period of the year. Only one course Project Work in Energy Systems Engineering can be included in the examination requirements for the Energy Systems Engineering Programme.
