About
About the course
Course content
The project topic may be of a reviewing or research type, or connected to a specific building or construction project in the design or construction phase. A short course in research methods is included as a part of the project work. The course must be passed before the specialisation project may be passed. Project topics may be within project management, design management, construction engineering, production technology in building and construction, or combinations of these. The project work may be conducted individually or through student groups, and shall result in a project report. The specialisation project will normally be a pilot study for the following master thesis.
Learning outcome
The student shall specialise in a selected topic through scientific methods, e.g. collecting knowledge through literature study and information search, field studies at building or construction sites, and combine this with his/her knowledge. The student shall also learn how to perform an independent project work, including project plan with milestones, intermediate reporting and writing reports according to accepted standards.
Learning methods and activities
The project work is performed as an independent work under supervision.
Compulsory assignments
- Course in research methods
Recommended previous knowledge
Passed exams in courses on which the project topic and associated theory modules are based.
