About the course
Aim
The course should give the students a perspective on engineering and the future role as an engineer. In specific, the course should introduce basic methods for project work. During the course a project will be performed on a topic of relevance for the Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering programme. After the examination of this course the students should know how to:
- work in a project according to a project model
- plan a project work from a given specification
- make and modify a project plan
- find knowledge of relevance to solve the project tasks
- relate basic concepts in physics and electronics to engineering work
- collaborate to make the work in a project group successful
- administrate and document an ongoing project work
- present the results from the project work both orally and in a written report
- reflect on the finished work and suggest improvements
