MH100X Degree Project in Materials and Process Design, First Cycle

Students admitted to year three in the degree programe in Materials Design and Engineering  - CMATD3, or a student with similarprerequisites

The course consists of a larger project work, which should provide a specialization in materials science and process design, and provide training in general engineering skills.

Theprojects deal with different problems in materials science and process design.The aim of the project is to integrate the technical aspects with the demands made by society in regulations, ethics, economy and environment.

Course leader provides appropriate projects and each project is assigned a dedicated mentor. Opportunity to own proposed project is also possible, and a supervisor from KTH will also then be appointed.

After the course, the student should be able to:

• apply the obtained knowledge and skills about metallic and ceramic materials on problems in materials science and process design
• formulate a technical problem and apply methods in materials science and process design to search and evaluate solutions to the problem
• use independent study forms in order to consolidate and deepen his/her expertise in materials science and process design
• present the solution of an engineering problem in a written technical report with high requirements on content, structure, and language (corresponding to TNC's standards)
• professionally present the own work and review others ' works
• use basic concepts and tools for an active career start

In addition, the students if necessary should be able to:

• make assumptions, and assess their validity by using sensitivity analysis

perform estimates to validate models and assess their reasonableness
