About the Course

The year ends with a major project that reflects the competence candidates have acquired during the academic year. The candidate must solve the assignment independently or in a team with fellow students from a practical problem. The project challenges the candidate to find a real-world project to acquire practical experience in a professional setting. Candidates are 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 teacher will present an alternative case project. The completed project will be presented to the teacher, sensor, fellow students, and, if applicable, the client.

The project challenges candidates to apply and combine accumulated competence from the first and second semesters to demonstrate his/her ability to complete a large project. Candidates are encouraged to collaborate with fellow students across disciplines to hone collaborative skills further.
