Passed courses equivalent to 150 ECTS on Engineering programme, along with the internship of 30 ECTS

The Bachelor Study is completed by carrying out an original project on a chosen subject in Civil-, Energy or Electrical Engineering and writing a coherent and clear report about the work performed in the project.

Topics will be selected by the students jointly with their advisors and the chosen topic is initially described in an approved project-proposal that may be written in Faroese or English (1-3 A4 pages including sources). The project includes an outlining of the definition of the assignment in question, measurements with relevant instrumentation where applicable, collection of relevant material, analysis of problem, and possibly design and investigation of systems or programs. The report also includes a critical discussion of the obtained conclusions, and when possible, comparisons with previously obtained results cited in the bibliography. The report can be written in a language agreed upon by the supervisors and the student, normally expected to be Faroese, another Nordic language or English.

Project-based self-study and group work. Supervision and discussion of project. The work should be completed within a given time frame, and a deadline for submission should be set in a formal agreement between the student, project supervisors and the responsible supervisor, and forwarded to the course responsible for approval before the project begins.

By the end of the course, the student should be able to: - In an organized way follow the supervisor’s advice on se-lecting a subject for the project, meet the project mile-stones and deadlines, and independently be able to con-duct the work related to the B.Sc. project. - Critically search, select, and use reliable and current knowledge from textbooks, internet or other sources, and clearly cite all sources used. - Individually or in a group write a clear, organized, and well-structured report, written in a professional lan-guage, which gives a good documentation of the project and also discusses the project in a broad context regard-ing e.g. civil, energy or electrical engineering. - Give an oral presentation of the project, answer ques-tions from opponents and participate in a professional discussion on the selected subject.

Evaluation of report and an oral presentation including individual defense of the report.
