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 of methodologies and/or applications in industrial ecology as well as knowledge of different industrial ecologies. The course also aims to train students in project work, i.e. to train 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 and time planning
- identify knowledge gaps and search for information
- develop and evaluate solution paths, as well as implement and evaluate at least one
- discuss the role of the chosen Industrial ecology topic for and the results' contribution to the handling of sustainability challenges in society
- 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 industrial ecology. The project tasks will vary from project to project, but generally the course consists of, given a concrete question or problem related to industrial ecology, carrying out:- information search
- project planning (clarify project goals, deliverables, scope, timetable)
- project work (methodological, analytical, empirical, experimental, modeling, or combinations of these)
- written and oral presentation
Organisation
Project proposals can come from the student or from the teacher. The project is carried out individually. 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 about disability study support.
