The degree project should treat an interesting problem in the area of biomedical engineering. In order for the assignment to be accepted as a degree project, there have to be interesting issues from the subject area to investigate. The emphasis of the work should lie in investigation and analysis. Possible programming work should be subordinate and with the intention to verify methods and theories. Degree projects often result in a prototype but very seldom in a complete product. The extent corresponds to five months of qualified work.
In the work it is included to
- establish a precise specification with time plan and carry out the work according to it or with by examiner approved dissents,
- search and read literature that is directly relevant to the degree project and present this in the report,
- participate in supervision sessions and seminars at KTH (sometimes with requirements of written submissions),
- present the work in a public written report that satisfies set norms,
- present the work orally at KTH,
- make an oral and written review of another degree project within the subject.
The degree project should be carried out individually. During the work the student has right to get regular supervision. The degree project should be carried out within agreed time limits. It is the student's assignment to find an appropriate assignment for the degree project.
