Master's Design Project

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Master's Design Project
Leerdoelen	At the end of the design project the student: • is able to work in an industrial environment; • is able to handle complexity due to a multidisciplinary and socio-technical approach • is able to apply an academic (critical, analytical) engineering approach • is able to formulate an appropriate design plan with a special focus on A. explicitly considering non-technical requirements directly and clearly linked to the actual business/industrial context; B. is able to understand and frame his/her project in an applied context and the implications for the stakeholders; • is able to communicate, during the project, intermediate results and design steps to his/her supervisors and to propose, if needed, possible adjustment to the design plan; • has to read and understand the relevant literature of a specific research topic, thus including internal “company” reports as well as patents; • is able to present his/her results in English by means of a written report as well as a brief presentation to an academic and professional audience, with questioning and answering about all issues related to the project and its results.
Omschrijving	In the IEM Design project the aim is at performing the design of a product and/or process. This should take place according to the regulative cycle (or parts thereof) by clearly defining the problem at hand, devising a design plan/strategy and, whenever possible, executing it and evaluating the proposed solution. The integration of non-technical requirements (e.g. company strategic policy) clearly and directly linked to the industrial context is a conditio sine qua non for this project. The design project assesses central IEM learning objectives, which preferably is performed as a finalization of the Master Cycle. The IEM Design Group initiates projects and acts as a first supervisor. Faculty Staff (probably ENTEG) is available as knowledge provider and participates as a second assessor with a specific focus on the scientific approach and contents. The expected outcome of this project is a multi-faced design report in which the employed methodology (independent of the content) as well as the link between the technology and the industrial context are of crucial importance.

Entreevoorwaarden	Research Methodology and 45 ECTS of Master's IEM programme must have been completed. Rules Design Project and Research Project: ·         No coupling between the two projects ·         Two different first supervisors o   First supervisor research project: from research group o   First supervisor design project: from design group ·         It is only allowed to do one of the projects outside the RUG; the other project should be (predominantly) at the RUG ·         Order: first Research Methodology, research/design project: order depends on you
Opmerkingen	The final grade is only registered in Progress when the final report is uploaded to the repository and when the student has passed all items in the corresponding Nestor tool.
