KF200X Degree Project in Fibre and Polymer Technology, Second Cycle 30.0 credits

The work should include problems that give specialisation/broadening within the main subject. The degree project is carried out independently. The work is located at KTH or a workplace outside KTH. The student is supervised during the work by supervisors at both KTH and at the workplace if outside KTH.

After completion of the course the student should be able to:

1. demonstrate knowledge of the chosen topic's scientific foundation and established back- ground, in-depth insight into current research and development, as well as in-depth knowl- edge of related methods.
2. show the ability to holistically, critically and systematically search, collect and integrate knowledge, and to identify the need for further knowledge
3. show the ability to identify, analyze, assess, and handle complex phenomena, issues and situations, even with limited information

5. show the ability to clearly present and discuss conclusions and the underlying arguments with different groups both orally and in writing
6. show the ability to make assessments considering relevant scientific, social and ethical aspects
7. design and handle products, processes, methods, systems or technical solutions, taking into consideration human conditions and needs, and the society's aim for economically, socially and ecologically sustainable development
