Course content

The topic for the project thesis and the chosen combination of subjects should be consistent. The supervisor of the project thesis should approve the choice of subjects.

Learning outcome

The student shall develop the ability to get familiar with a specific topic within marine control systems by use of scientific methods. This includes collecting information and gaining insight by studies of relevant literature and other sources of information, and combining this information with his/her own knowledge. Moreover, the student shall be trained in carrying out an extensive project, by developing a project plan with milestones, reporting intermediate results of his/hers work and completing a project report according to recognized standards. The project will consist of theoretical studies and analysis, computer-based simulations and in some cases experimental work. The project work may be the basis for the MSc thesis.
