The groups
Each project group will consist of 3 to 6 persons. Mixed project groups will be created based on student interest and the aim is to achieve a mix of students based on bachelor degree and university.
Workplaces
There are two workplaces that can be used if necessary. CASE-lab in the ED-building and the Production Systems Laboratory in the M-building. These rooms are equipped with tools that can be used. If you need more machines we can arrange so you get access to the prototype laboratory in the M-building basement.
Description
This course has five parts:
- Preparing and presenting a project plan,
- Delivering an engineering result
- Writing an article
- Peer review another groups article
- Presentation and demonstration of result
Writing an article
Being a researcher is fun and interesting. Even if you do not plan to continue as a PhD student, a successful engineer should approach new challenges a little bit like a researcher. In this part of the course the group will identify some challenges of the project and write a research article. The article should not be a project report! Read http://personal.lse.ac.uk/sorensec/this_is_not....html about writing papers.
The suggestion is to find a detailed challenge that you will solve during the project, for example evaluating various algorithms or defining a model for something. Find other articles by searching at http://scholar.google.se/ that may have done the same thing. Based on the literature study do some evaluation / testing / modeling / hard thinking and write down the result. Then spend some time on writing a discussion about it.
Each paper will be “peer reviewed” by the other students and the supervisor.
Examination
The marking grades used are fail, 3, 4, and 5.
50% of the grade is based on the article and 50% is based on the project execution and result.
In the middle of the course you will have a discussion with your supervisor about the grade. If you continue on the same track, that grade is what you will get. If you would like to change the grade up or down, the supervisor will give you hints.
Each group member will review and grade the group and the group members after the final article has been submitted.
The deadline for the draft-paper, the final paper and the presentations are hard ones. So do not miss them.
