Aim:
Learning objectives: - Relate basic concepts in physics and electronics to engineering work. - Develop an understanding of what engineering is all about and how the work is performed. - Administration, planning, communication, documentation, and presentation of project work. - Contribute as a member of a team.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)


Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Organisation: lectures and project work

Course contents:
Lectures - Introductory lecture, CDIO, project descriptions, situating the engineering profession, Group dynamics when working together, Model for project work at LiTH, Communication. Industry related guest lectures. The engineers role as a communicator. Analysis of and adaptation to receivers. Written presentation. Linguistic and formal aspects of technical documents: instructions, reports and descriptions. How to prepare and execute an oral presentation. Project work - The projects are aimed at presenting the engineering working situation and in addition give the students training in team work and communication. The project work is performed in groups of 5-6 students. Each project takes 2-3 groups. The groups are put together by the course management, which also assigns a project to each group. -All projects are described in brief on the course homepage. The person responsible for the project presents a more detailed introduction during the first meeting with the students. During the work the students have a given maximum time for supervision. In addition, some help to use information search tools will be provided. -The projects have in common that they follow the Model for project work at LiTH, which is introduced during the lectures and also presented in a compendium. Also the examination follows a common pattern for all groups and projects. -The project work should be documented during the work, and at the end presented in the form of a demonstration and a written report. Both the demonstration and the report is a part of the examination.

Course literature:
Compendia in Model for Project work at LiTH. Each project is described in a short report, which contains a list of relevant reference literature.

Examination:
Active participation at lectures, exercises and conference.
