- apply skills and knowledge in computer science to a given problem
- independently analyse and discuss relevant aspects of, and solutions to, a large problem in computer science,
- apply standard methods of practice in industry, administration and academic environments regarding planning, conducting, reporting and evaluating independent design and investigation projects
- reflect on, evaluate and critically discuss one's own and others' scientific results,
- document and present the work orally and in writing, with requirements for structure, contents, presentation, formal contents, style and writing
- identify own information needs and independently acquire the knowledge and skills that are needed to solve the problem

Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
In addition to the KTH general requirement for 120 completed credits from the programme syllabus of the programme for year 1-3, courses in fields corresponding to the following courses should be completed:
• Programming and computer science fundamentals, equivalent to DD1320 Applied computer science
• Planning and implementation of project work, equivalent to ME1306 Industrial project management for I
• Fundamentals in Industrial Engineering and Management, corresponding to ME1314 Introduction to Industrial Engineering and Management
• Sustainable development and social aspects, equivalent to ME1314 Introduction to Industrial Engineering and Management
• Planning, implementation and evaluation of computer science studies in user interaction, equivalent to DH1620 Human-Computer Interaction, introductory course
Active participation in a course offering where the final examination is not yet reported in LADOK is considered equivalent to completion of the course.
Being registered for a course counts as active participation.The term 'final examination' encompasses both the regular examination and the first re-examination.
