Offered by

Supply Engineering

ECTS

Prerequisites

Completion of the mandatory and elective courses in Supply Engineering or approved (by SE Head of Department) courses of similar extent from other branches of engineering.

Main purpose

The purpose is to document the student’s ability to apply engineering theories and methods within a certain limited subject area.

Knowledge

After the completion of the project work, the student must be able to:

- Describe a given (chosen) engineering problem, list relevant tools (formulas, methods, software, etc.) to clarify the problem, apply the tools, reflect and conclude.
- Understand how the conclusion/solution to the given problem influences connected areas theoretically and/or technically.

Skills

After the completion of the project work, the student must be able to:
- Apply engineering theories and methods within chosen subjects and independently be able to plan and carry out experiments or practical measurements as appropriate.
- Acquire new knowledge critically within relevant engineering fields.
- Apply quality assurance/critically review data and results.
- If relevant, make financial estimates for the project/solution.
- Present all relevant information in report and appendix, using references and sources of information correctly.
- Extract the essence of the project and communicate this clearly orally and in writing.

Competences

After the completion of the project work, the student must be able to:

- Analyze a given (chosen) problem, collect data, select appropriate methods of analysis, put the results into perspective and conclude.
- Plan and carry out the project and related activities according to self-defined time schedule.

Evaluation

Examination

Exam prerequisites:
Passed all other elements of the bachelor programme.

Type of exam:
Group presentation, 20 minutes, followed by an individual exam, 20 minutes per student, with the presence of the whole group.
Exam is based on the bachelor project report handed in before deadline.
External assessment.

Tools allowed:
All tools allowed.

Re-exam:
Same as the ordinary exam.
Based on the submitted project, the examiner gives the student guidance on necessary improvements in relation to passing the exam (possibly, that a new project should be prepared). The students are informed about specific deadlines and details of the project work. Project groups are formed if possible. No guidance is provided in the period leading up to submission.
The project is assessed at an oral exam.

Grading criteria

Grading based on the Danish 7 point scale
