About the course
Course content
Enrollment in the course requires an agreement with a scientific employee at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics regarding supervision and thesis topic.
The detailed contents of the thesis will be defined in cooperation with the supervisor.
Learning outcome
Knowledge
- In depth knowledge in Engineering cybernetics and its use as a tool applied to a concrete problem.
- Selection of appropriate methods to solve a problem.
Skills
- Perform analysis, modeling, simulation and design by applying cybernetic methods at an advanced level within the scope of the selected thesis topic.
- Management of a large independent project, including development of project plan with milestones and reporting progress and status.
General competence
- Communication of specialist topics with specialists and the general public.
- Understanding relevant scientific methods.
- Understanding management of practical projects.
Learning methods and activities
Development and/or research undertaken individually. Regular meetings with teacher/supervisor.
Activities may include: the formulation of a project plan, production of a poster and/or an oral presentation of the work.
Further on evaluation
The master thesis and associated practical works are considered as a whole. Examination arrangement: Written Thesis and adjusting oral examination based on the master's thesis
During the oral adjustment examination, the candidate shall have the master's thesis available, and bringing notes is permitted.
The thesis will reflect on the sustainability relevance of the thesis based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Grades are used in the scale of A - F. UHR's descriptions of grades for master’s theses in mathematics, natural sciences and technology are followed.
If the master thesis is assessed as Fail or grade F, the student(s) must submit a new thesis. Improvement/reworking is not sufficient. The thesis can present the same topic area with the same empirical/data basis.
Recommended previous knowledge
