About the Course

This major project reflects the competence the candidates have acquired during the academic year. 

The candidate must solve the assignment independently or as part of a group from a practical problem. Candidates will be encouraged to form small groups based on the tasks/challenges of the given problem. Internship projects are recommended, and the project challenges candidates to find a real-world project to acquire practical experience in a professional setting. The candidate is responsible for all aspects of the project, in accordance with the supervisor through the internship, if applicable. If the candidate is not working on a real-world project, the academic staff will present an alternative case project. The completed project will be presented to the teacher, sensor, fellow students and, if applicable, the customer. 

If the candidate is working on a real-world project, the candidate must provide documentation for the completed project, even if it is not within the customer’s specifications. 

The course aims to allow candidates to make independent choices and deliver a comprehensive product from start to finish with professional standards, deadline compliance and focus on efficient workflows. The candidate must demonstrate their ability to make reasonable and efficient choices to create a streamlined service design ready to implement in the client organisation, relevant and detailed documentation, in addition to communicating with professional terminology and expressions during a project.
