| Aim: The course is designed to give students engineering experience by introducing them to an engineer�?Ts approach to analysing a task, solving problems, organizing the required activities to complete the task, working in groups and project management. This is a practical course in which students work in groups, in a simulated working environment to complete an assigned task. The course will end with written and oral presentations of the groups�?T accomplishments. By the end of the course, students will be able to:

| 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: Lectures, exercises and project work. The course ends with a mini conference. |
|||
| 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 engineer�?Ts role as a communicator, analysis of and adaptation to customers requirements, 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. 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 examination follows a common pattern for all groups and projects. Project work should be documented during the work, and at the end presented in the form of a presentation and a written report. Both the presentation and the report must be passed. |
|||
| 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. Project work |
