Prerequisites
Third semester Global Business Engineering Program
Main purpose
The project is a cross disciplinary task, and the main purpose is to combine elements from the two specializations with elements from the financial management course. In addition, students need to develop and improve their skills in project work and use the skills they have learned in previous courses.
The semester project includes the following subjects:
- Mechanical Engineering: Mechanics (MEC1), Material and Manufacturing Technology (MMT1),
- Software direction: Software Development with Java (SDJ1), Database systems (DBS1)
- Economics for Engineers (ECE1). Calculation of financial returns and sensitivity analysis for a company that invests in renewable energy solutions
Knowledge
Professional knowledge learning goals The students must be able to: - Demonstrate knowledge of theories, models and methods from current and previous semesters courses for the solution of the semester project assignment, including:
- 3D drawing (CAD)
- Programming software using Java and relational databases
- Thermodynamics and electrical circuits
- Calculations of profitability in connection with capital investments
|
Project method learning objectives: The students must be able to: - Explain personal characteristics and attitudes
- Demonstrate awareness of own personal knowledge, personal skills and attitudes as well as show responsibility for improving in order to overcome personal weaknesses.

Competences
Professional learning goals
The students must be able to: - Select, combine and adapt theories, models and methods from current and previous semester's courses and apply them in a form that is usable, relevant and rational in relation to the solution of the semester project assignment.
|
Project method learning objectives:
The students must be able to: Effective teams:
Plan, structure and achieve effective collaboration in groups through reasoned choices of working methods and adapted collaboration methods
Analyze and reflect on connections between knowledge sharing in the project group and the quality of the project work Own learning process;
Analyze own learning needs and independently structure own learning process
Independently and critically apply relevant and valid knowledge Project framework;
Independently explain new knowledge and argue for application in connection with the project work. Problem based learning;

Topics
Teaching methods and study activities
Group work on project supported by process and professional guidance, Online, video and group teaching on key topics followed by exercises in class. Ongoing evaluation and feedback in the course:
Project description must be submitted and approved. |
Education-specific Product:
The project team will act as consulting engineers and test and design a solar cell system for an imaginary company. In connection with the Solar Cell System, a software package must be developed that can monitor the system's output and performance. Calculations must also be made of the economic viability of the investment. Finally, a video presentation must be made showing the system's functionalities and main conclusions from the economic analysis. |
Resources
Will
be handed out to the students via Itslearning.
Evaluation
Examination
Admission criteria for exam:
Project report and process report must be submitted before the deadline set by the supervisors.
Examination form:
Group exam with individual assessment.
Joint examination with a joint discussion and individual question rounds for approx. 20 minutes per student including voting.
Individual grades are given on the basis of an overall assessment of the submitted work as well as the individual's performance during the examination.
Internal examiner.
Permitted aids:
All
Re-examination:
The examination takes place as an ordinary examination.
The main supervisor decides in consultation with the external examiner whether the student who has not passed the semester project must submit a revised project report or complete a new project.
For students who have not passed the semester project, an information meeting will be held at the end of the spring semester. Here, information is provided on specific deadlines and detailed courses for the project work, just as new project groups are formed where possible in relation to the number of failed students in the individual semesters. Based on the feedback the students have received after the ordinary exam, either a new project must be prepared or the non-passed project must be revised.
The project must be handed in by the agreed deadline before the autumn semester. Examination is conducted around the beginning of the fall semester.
When submitting a revised project report, the main supervisor can also decide that submission and examination will instead be carried out in connection with the coming re-examination period.
