Objective : To give students an opportunity - with guidance - to show their ability to use their knowledge and academic skills on a typical engineering problem within the fields of electronic, telecommunication, software and systems development.
Principal Content : Is determined by the content of the project work.
Teaching method : The final project is decided according to the following procedures:
The student register for the final project before the 15th March/15th October. The student will have a "co-ordinator" assigned who informs the student in how to find a relevant practice/project location. The projects may be carried out at the firm or institution which has made the proposal or at IHK.
Each project student is allocated a supervisor, who may be a teacher or an engineer in the firm which proposed the project theme. As a condition for beginning the project, it has to be approved by the "co-ordinator" and the supervisor in respect of: time requirement, level of difficulty, possibilities of evaluation including the objectives that have to be discussed at the evaluation.
Required prequisites : The student has to be positively sure to be able to complete the study program when the final project is submitted. Therefore, to complete the final project, it is required that:
- The student has passed all compulsory courses.
- The student has completed 165 credits of the courses.
Recommended prerequisites : None
Relations : None
Type of examination : Oral examination based on a project
External examiner : External
Marking : Scale of 13
Remarks : The evaluation is based on the project progress, the written project report, a presentation of the project and a discussion between the students, the supervisors and the external examiners
For the presentation and the discussion at least one hour is set aside.

Students who do the project in a foreign country (ETAP, ERASMUS, SOCRATES etc.), will normally be evaluated at the foreign university, but they have to go through a special evaluation at IKT.
Grading
Foreign grades will be translated according to the 13-scale at the final evaluation
Cancellation within ten weeks prior to the examination date will be considered an examination attempt.
Further information can be found in "Guidelines regarding final projects and integrated engineering practice" which is handed out at the secretariat, and posted on notice boards.
