Aim

The course aims at students enhancing their ability to work in groups as well as acquiring a deeper knowledge in electrical engineering, information technology and programming through experimental and/or theoretical work in project form. The purpose is also that the projects stimulate further studies in technology and science.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • formulate, plan, perform and present the results of a project work in the field of electrical engineering, physics and IT.
  • critically judge information collected from various types of sources.
  • use results from measurements to construct simple mathematical models.
  • use measurement results to construct simple mathematical models and perform related calculations in Python
  • draw conclusions from measurement results.

Content

  • Modeling and programming.
  • Selected topics in electrical engineering, physics and IT.

Organisation

  • Introductory and theme lectures within different project areas.
  • Individual hand-in assignment, programming in Python
  • Group work (plan, perform, analyze) within the chosen project(s).
  • Presentation of results (written and oral).
  • All teaching is online

Examination including compulsory elements

To pass the course, the student must carry out the individual hand-in assignment in programming, and actively participate in, and contribute to, the group work tasks and the presentations. The presentation of results is in the form of a written report and an oral presentation. The tasks are graded as Failed or Passed. To obtain the final grade Passed, requires that all tasks have been graded as Passed.

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 about disability study support.
