Degree Thesis in Industrial Engineering and Management for Bachelor of Science in Engineering

In this course, students should demonstrate that they can collaborate with others and also, with a high degree of independence, identify and define a research problem within the Industrial Engineering and Management field. They must also demonstrate the ability to plan, conduct and report a study in a scientific manner. In supervision sessions and seminars, students are given the opportunity to discuss different ways to define and describe their research problem, adequate theoretical foundations, approaches, methods, and data collection techniques. The students should further demonstrate the ability to collect and analyze relevant information, and to critically and reflectively approach their own and other students’ work. The students should report their work in a thesis, which should be orally presented and defended at an opposition seminar, and students should also, as opponents, demonstrate their ability to constructively criticize the work of other students.
