MJ234X Degree Project in Refrigerating Engineering, Second Cycle

To begin the thesis project, second cycle, requires:

• completed courses corresponding to at least 60 credits at the second cycle
• completed course in ”Scientific Research Methodology”
• able to demonstrate sufficient specific subject knowledge in relation for the chosen area for the thesis project

The Master programme is concluded with a degree project in which the student is expected to demonstrate ability to independently solve an engineering problem by using a broad spectrum of skills. The subject for the degree project can vary but it must contain significant technical contents, have a clear application within chosen field and, if applicable, contribute to sustainable development. Provided that the degree project satisfies the requirements above, as decided by the course coordinator or examiner, and provided that qualified supervision is provided throughout the degree project, the student can choose to carry out the degree project either at an academic department, within an industrial company, or at a consulting firm, in Sweden or abroad.

• demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the scientific foundation and best practices for the chosen subject, as well as an advanced understanding in current research and development, and in-depth knowledge of methodology
• demonstrate the ability to search, gather and integrate knowledge and identify their need for additional knowledge, all with a holistic, critical and systematic work approach.
• demonstrate the ability to identify, analyse, assess and handle complex phenomena, issues and situations also with limited information
• demonstrate the ability to plan and with adequate methods carry out qualified assignments within given time frames and to evaluate this work
• demonstrate the ability to orally and in writing in dialogue with different groups clear account for and discuss his conclusions and the knowledge and the arguments that lie these
• demonstrate the ability to make assessments considering relevant scientific, social and ethical aspects
• show such skills that are required for participating in research and development or to work independently in other qualified activities
