About the Course

The semester concludes with a graded project where the candidate must demonstrate practical skills and competence from courses in the first semester. Candidates’ work independently on a project, which must be planned, documented and executed according to project criteria. The aim is to model a 3D construction completely documented with 2D drawings and presentation material. The candidate also prepares a project plan and an individual reflection report documenting the process and choices made along the way. The project can open for teamwork, real client projects, or interdisciplinary cooperation projects across disciplines. 

The course is important in view of the student's practice with professional project experience. The candidate's ability to work independently in a creative development and completion environment is central. The candidate must demonstrate his/her ability to make reasonable and efficient choices using software tools and detailed documentation, in addition to communicating with professional terminology and expressions during a project. The candidate is encouraged to use the end product in application processes for work and internships.
