| Objective : | The aim of the engineering practice is to provide the student with profound knowledge and practical experience in a major area of mechanical engineering at a company, located either in Denmark or abroad. The student should have the opportunity to combine practical mechanical engineering design methods with the theoretical courses followed at the college in an interdisciplinary context. The student should be able to gain experience in the company culture, design methods, sales and marketing methods, and the application of engineering sciences. A student who has met the objectives of the engineering practice will be able to: • Demonstrate independent critical reflection on the contents of the engineering practice period. • Apply technical knowledge to real-life complex problems. • Acquire a holistic understanding and use non-technical aspects. • Use knowledge of some basic topics of the mechanical engineering programme in the various aspects of the engineering practice. • Perform the tasks set by the company in order to complete the engineering practice period. • Write a technical report about the tasks performed and the experiences gained, during the engineering practice period. |
