| Objective : | The Final Project comprises an independent experimental, empirical and/or theoretical treatment of a practical problem constellation in relation to the central topics of the education to "diplomingeniør" from The Department for Production Engineering. The Final Project shall substantiate capability of the students to exercise engineering theory and methods within a professional demarcated subject. The teaching and guidance offered during the Final Project accordingly have following aims: - To procure the students opportunity to work at the basis of the achieved knowledge and ability in the concrete project reality and with a general view on the actual task. - To practise the students in critical selecting of relevant solving methods and independtly to combine these methods in accordance to the concrete demands of the actual problem. - To give the student experience in working with a major coherent problem complex from the real world within the professional competence area of the production engineer. - To give the student ability to document and promote the contents and results of a major coherent project task, ready for use in a company. | ||
| Principal Content : | Depending on the character and the contents of the Final Project, the professional matter could for example be described as follows: - Drawing up of a concrete major task (PILOT-project) based on a recognised and exposed problem complex or formulated task. A problem formulation must be defined and it has to be explained, how the project is intended to be realised, which methods are expected to be used, and a timetable must be proposed for the expected progress of the project work. - Giving a description, analysis, demarcation and modelling of functions and processes behind a recognised problem complex or formulated task. - Laying down a specification to the problem solution or task fulfilment. - Drawing up, discussion, evaluation and giving priority to solution possibilities. - Drawing up action plans for the implementation of an elected solution or a set of solutions. - Implementation of a task solution and a follow-up on the effect. - Involving to a nesessary extend in the projects single phases the competition, the capability, the costs, and the external and working environment. | ||
| Teaching method : | It is recommended that the final project work is carried out of two-person groups. Each group will get a supervisor associated (teacher from the P-department). On the initative of the students the supervisor will follow the progress and the contents of the project. Furthermore, the students can get professional advice from other teachers, but the responsibility for the progress and contents of the Final Project is placed alone with the students and the supervision is an offer. During the 6th semester, the teacher group connected with the PILOT-projects will arrange 2-3 meetings about the final project. The information given is about general conditions for the final project and how to find a relevant and suitable project item. The Final Project implies a working effort pr. student of at least 600 hours. | ||
| Required prequisites : | - The compulsory courses and projects from the 4 first semesters must be passed. - The engineering traineeship must be completed and approved. Pass or participation in the lessons/examination for optional courses corresponding to at least 20 ECTS points must be fulfilled. It is a precondition for completing the Final Project, that the PILOT-project has passed Normally, this will take place during the 6th semester | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | It is recommended that the number of option courses necessary for finishing the education are passed at the latest by the ending of the final project, meaning the end of the 7th semester | ||
| Relations : | - | ||
| Type of examination : | Project | ||
| External examiner : | External | ||
| Marking : | Scale of 13 | ||
| Remarks : | The Final Project is concluded with the students´ report covering a description of the work done, analyses, summary, and conclusion. The supervisor and an external, appointed censor will evaluate this report. The students will give an oral presentation of the report and the work carried out, and they will specify and state the reasons for the executed election, supplement with other points of view and perspectives and give the censor and the supervisor possibility to put questions to the report and the project proceeding. | ||
