Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Project work that is carried out individually of in groups of maximum two students.

The project work considers vehicle engineering problems found in industry or society. Technical aspects are integrated with demands from society through laws, regulations, ethics, economics and environmental aspects.

Deepened knowledge of vehicle engineering within the framework of the project.

Information retrieval, oral and written communication.

Professional ethics, integrity, responsibility and reliability.

Active carrier planning.

Intended learning outcomes

After the course, the participant should be able to

  • apply knowledge and skills acquired in previous courses in solution of vehicle engineering problems
  • formulate a technical problem and apply methodology from a vehicle engineering perspective to find and estimate the value of solutions to the problem
  • use individual learning methods for widening of his/her knowledge and skill in vehicle engineering
  • analyse the need of scientific information, carry out an information retrieval as well as review and compile the information
  • present solutions to an engineering problem in a written report with demands for content, structure and use of language (comparable to the TNC norms)
  • identify and discuss ethical problems related to the engineering profession
  • use the basic terminology and tools for career planning
