About the Course

The programme concludes with a major project that reflects competence the candidates have acquired during the academic year. The candidate must solve the assignment independently, or as a group, from a given practical problem. Internship projects are encouraged 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, an alternative case project will be presented by the academic staff. The completed project will be presented to the teacher, sensor, fellow students and if applicable, the customer. The course builds on competence from all courses during the academic year. 

The aim of the course is to provide candidates with the ability to make independent choices and deliver a comprehensive product from start to finish with professional standards, deadline compliancy and focus on efficient workflows. The candidate must demonstrate his/her ability to make reasonable and efficient choices though the use of software tools and detailed documentation, in addition to communicating with professional terminology and expressions during a project. The project work is independent, and the project scope is set with guidance from the academic staff and industry. The candidate is encouraged to use the end product in application processes for work and internships.
