        Aim

        The course provides a platform to work and solve challenging cross-disciplinary authentic problems from different stakeholders in society such as the academy, industry or public institutions. Additionally, the aim is that students from different educational programs practice working efficiently in multidisciplinary development teams.

        Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

        • be able to critically and creatively handle advanced architectural and/or engineering problems
        • be able to tackle problems with open solutions spaces which includes to be able to handle uncertainties and limited information.
        • be able to participate in the development of new products, processes and systems using a holistic approach by following a design process and/or a systematic development process.
        • be able to work in multidisciplinary teams and collaborate in teams with different compositions
        • show insights about and deal with the impact of architecture and/or engineering solutions in a global, economic, environment and societal context.
        • be able to identify ethical aspects and discuss their consequences in relation to the specific problem
        • be able to orally and in writing explain and discuss information, problems, methods, design/development processes and solutions
        • fulfill project specific learning outcomes

        Content

        The main part is a challenge driven project. The challenge may range from being broad societal to profound research driven. The project work is augmented and supported by on demand topic specific digital education, faculty mentoring and self-studies.

        Organisation

        A team project task will run over one semester or the whole academic year. The team will have one university examiner, one or a pole of university supervisors and  if applicable one or a pole of external co-supervisors.

        Literature

        Relevant literature is retrieved and acquired by the students as a part of the project.

        Examination including compulsory elements

        The whole project is the evaluated by criteria for the learning outcomes. Final grade will be based on process and/or  project results as well as individual contributions to the results and/or  the success of the team.

        The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers about disability study support.
