Research assignment

The research assignment can be either a design, experimental or programming/simulation assignment on a wide range of topics often related to ongoing research.

To get an assignment contact your MSc thesis supervisor. The subject of the assignment may be related to your final thesis work but is not part of it and will be assessed separately.

Types of assessments:

Design assignment (15 EC)

Your assignment may vary from (re)designing a part of a piece of equipment to the design of a transportation process with accompanying equipment.

Experimental assignment (15 EC)

You will set-up and carry out experiments in close cooperation with and under the authority of a staff member. These experiments are often concerned with ongoing research at our department.

Programming/simulation assignment (15 EC)

You will use software or develop software/algorithms/procedures for solving technical problems, controlling, measuring, designing, data analysis related to technical problems. Developing or choosing the appropriate model and implementing the model in a simulation language, testing a model in the laboratory can also be part of the assignment.
