Bachelor Project (SE-)

Code

SE-BPR2

Version

2.0

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.

Topics

Teaching methods and study activities

Individual information retrieval, laboratory work, data analysis, report writing, discussions in groups assisted by the lecturer, presentations, self-study, homework assignments.
412.5 hours of work for the student.

Study Activity Model

According to the Study Activity Model, the workload is divided as follows:
Category 1, Initiated by the lecturer with the participation of lecturer and students: 5 hours – 1%
Category 2: Initiated by lecturer with participation of students: 10 hours – 2,5%
Category 3: Initiated by students with participation of students: 371 hours – 94 %
Category 4: Initiated by students with the participation of lecturer and students: 10 hours – 2,5%
