          Examiner

          Eligibility

          General entry requirements for Master's level (second 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

          English 6 (or by other approved means with the equivalent proficiency level)
          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

          Can only be taken after agreement with an examiner based on a project idea.

          Aim

          The course aims to deepen the student's knowledge in future energy technology applications.
          A further aim is to train students on project work, i.e. to practice problem-oriented learning by participating in development projects: providing sufficient knowledge of problem formulation, information search, work planning, execution, reporting, documentation, and identification of further work.

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

          - identify and formulate a project task
          - clarify project goals, deliverables, scope, time planning, and for group work determine roles and division of responsibilities for group members
          - identify knowledge gaps and search for information
          - develop and evaluate solution paths, as well as implement and evaluate at least one
          - carry out oral and written presentations
          - document the project work so that others can build further on the results
          - identify further work
          - evaluate whether the project has reached each of the goals and, if needed, analyze the necessary measures to achieve all goals
          - present and document project work both in writing and orally

          Content

          Subject-wise, the project deals with applications in energy technology. The concrete project tasks vary from project to project, but generally the course consists of, given a concrete energy engineering question or problem, carrying out:
          - information search
          - project planning (clarify project goals, deliverables, scope, timetable, possible group roles)
          - project work (experimental, modeling, or both)
          - written and oral presentation

          Organisation

          Project proposals can come from the student or from the teacher (offered via the MSc programme's CANVAS homepage and informative sessions). The project can be carried out both individually or in a group. The projects are carried out under supervision. Supervisors are responsible for giving the student the support required to complete the project within the given framework. The project's organization and preliminary content must be approved by the examiner and supervisor before work begins.

          Literature

          Necessary literature to carry out the project work is to be searched by the student as part of the project work.

          Examination including compulsory elements

          Approved written report and presentation.

          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.
