Aim:
The course gives a deeper experience of project based work, applied to the logistics field. This involves applying existing and acquiring new knowledge in various fields, depending on specific project. After the course the student should be able to
- within the project area, acquire deep knowledge in some area of logistics
- formulate a demand specification from a project directive and update the demand specification according to the evolvement of the project
- find and acquire specific knowledge depending on the specific project contents
- in the report, relate the work to scientific literature and knowledge in the area
- in the report, describe the scientific method chosen for the project
- do a project according to a project model
- plan a project by documenting the plan in a project- & time plan and also follow up and modify the project- & time plans
- present the project result in a written report and an oral presentation
- reflect over the work performed, and suggest improvements
- make an opposition of another groups work
A further goal for the course is to develop the ability to solve larger problems/assignments and to give capabilities to suggest and communicate solutions to problems related to logistics, and contribute to a well-functioning project group. The projects are carried out realistically, in order to practice for thesis work & the professional career. This means that the project assignments come directly from, or are inspired by real problems. The students are encouraged to find or imagine projects by themselves.
