Aim:
The project shall be carried out using industrial practice, and it shall develop and consolidate competence in the following areas:
- Apply knowledge and methods from previous courses and when necessary new knowledge shall be developed.
- Integrate knowledge from different disciplines, such as automatic control, modeling, signal processing, computer programming, and apply this knowledge in new contexts, such as project work in collaboration with industry or researchers.
- Define requirements for the project based on preliminary specifications, often defined by an external customer, and investigate the conditions under which the project work can be carried out.
- Present the project outcome for the customer and other students, whom are not expected to be experts within the fields of expertise of the students who carried out the work.
- Show the ability to in an independent way manage the project work using a project model and with limited support in terms of supervision.
- Planning, implementation and evaluation of a project.
- Analyzing problems and break down of problems.
- Creative solutions.
- Social competence.
- Modeling, design and implementation of solution.
The result of the project work shall be:
- Of hight technical quality and be based on state-of-the-art knowledge and methods in automatic control.
- Documented in terms of project plan, project schedule, and technical report.
- Presented orally as well as with a poster.
- Evaluated in a review report.
- When applicable a user-friendly interface should be developed together with a user's manual.
A purpose for the course is also for the students to acquire knowledge and abilities within the general area of entrepreneurship, with particular focus on business planning for new ventures. After the course, students should be able to:
- account for models that describe what it takes for a new venture to have a stable basis for further development and to assess the level of development of ventures using such models; and
- account for the information and analyses needed to evaluate a development project from a business point of view and have the ability to collect and analyze relevant information for the purpose.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Automatic control, Industrial Control Systems, Control theory, Modeling and simulation.
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:
The course runs over the entire autumn semester.
|
|
Course contents:
The project will be closely related to ongoing research within
automatic control or to companies working in this area. An example of
a project related to ongoing research is the integration of sensor
signals from external sensors to be used in control of a
robot. Another example is a project involving a UAV. Tracking
and sensor fusion are possible assignments. Some projects might be conducted in collaboration with other reserach groups. Other projects will be conducted in collaboration with industry. Due to this the contents of the projects will change from year to year.
