Eligibility
General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Specific entry requirements
The same as for the programme that owns the course.Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Course specific prerequisites
For the individual project required prerequisite knowledge, from the first three years of the Bioengineering program, or similar, as judged by the examiner and the supervisor of the project. For application to the course, a project plan should be sent to the program responsible for evaluation and approval.
Aim
The course should make it possible for students to carry out an individual project, on an undergraduate level, at an academic institute, in industry, or in other sectors of society. In the individual project in biotechnology, the student should integrate, deepen and develop his/her knowledge within a limited area of the subject matter treated during the first three years of the Bioengineering program. The project aims to give the student knowledge and skill in scientific and engineering work, and to make the student acquainted with an environment which is representative for a part of the future labour market.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- limit and identify the scope of a problem within the chosen subject
- plan the work to solve and report the problem with given resources
- search, read and define available literature and other background information
- integrate and develop knowledge and skill within the chosen problem
- execute laboratory and / or theoretical work to reach the goals of the project
- collect and report laboratory and / or theoretical results
- report the project results and how these meet with the project goals and effect goals, in a written report and at an oral presentation
Content
The content of the project may vary, but must be defined at the start of the project. The project should be oriented towards research and development.
Organisation
The project can be carried out at an academic institution or within a suitable industry or similar. There must be a responsible supervisor, who should give the student the support necessary for the execution of the project within the given framework. It is up to the individual student to organise a specific project, in collaboration with the intended supervisor. The content and organisation of the project must be accepted by the examiner and the supervisor prior to the startup of the project work.
Literature
Necessary literature for executing the project.
Examination including compulsory elements
The project is examined by a written project report, and by an oral presentation of the project at a seminar.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
