Course content

The bachelor thesis is based either on thesis problem proposed by the business community / public sector and / or from the academic community's research field. Through the assignment, students will identify, formulate and solve relevant problems in the engineer's field of work. The candidate must use knowledge and skills from several subject areas in the study, as well as do independent specialization where necessary. Through the bachelor thesis, the candidate must contribute to either research or development. The candidate must also acquire skills in project management, planning, implementation and documentation of a project work.

The bachelor thesis must contain at least one of the topics innovation, development, research or entrepreneurship. The project group chooses their own approach to the chosen topic.
