Prerequisites
Main purpose
The purpose is for the students to apply their personal and project competencies from the previous semester projects in a practice-oriented and complex bachelor project.
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
- Explain theories and methods used in the project.
- Critically acquire new knowledge.
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.
- Search for and select the best suited theories and methods for the project.
- Apply selected theories and methods to the project.
- Participate in and take responsibility for professional collaboration.
- Communicate both orally and in writing the results of the project as well as the process.
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 structure a complex project.
- Perform a practice-oriented project in accordance with a plan.
- Reflect on the results of the project in a professional, holistic and ethical perspective.

Evaluation
Examination
Exam prerequisites:
Passed all other elements of the bachelor programme.
Type of exam:
Group exam with individual assessment.
Exam is based on project report and process report submitted before the deadline and in accordance with VIA Engineering guidelines including guidelines on formalities.
Group presentation, 20 minutes, followed by an individual exam, 20 minutes per student, with the presence of the whole group.
During the oral exam, each student is expected to demonstrate ownership of the project by providing detailed explanations and reflections in response to questions posed by the examiner.
Individual grades are given based on an overall assessment of the submitted work as well as the individual´s performance during the exam.
External assessment.
Tools allowed:
All tools allowed.
Re-exam:
Same as the ordinary exam.
Based on the submitted project, the examiner gives the student guidance on necessary improvements in relation to passing the exam (possibly, that a new project should be prepared). The students are informed about specific deadlines and details of the project work. Project groups are formed if possible. No guidance is provided in the period leading up to submission.
The project is assessed at an oral exam.
Grading criteria
Grading based on the Danish 7 point scale
