Annex 2
For a Master of Science in Engineering the student shall have demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to work autonomously as a graduate engineer.
Knowledge and understanding
For a Master of Science in Engineering the student shall have:
* demonstrated knowledge of the disciplinary foundation of and best practice in his or her chosen field of technology as well as insight into current research and development work, and
* demonstrated both broad knowledge of his or her chosen field of technology, including knowledge of mathematics and the natural sciences, as well as a considerable degree of specialised knowledge in certain areas of the field.
Competence and skills
For a Master of Science in Engineering the student shall have:
* demonstrated the ability to identify, formulate and deal with complex issues autonomously and critically and with a holistic approach and also to participate in research and development work and so contribute to the formation of knowledge
* demonstrated the ability to create, analyse and critically evaluate various technological solutions
* demonstrated the ability to plan and use appropriate methods to undertake advanced tasks within predetermined parameters
* demonstrated the ability to integrate knowledge critically and systematically as well as the ability to model, simulate, predict and evaluate sequences of events even with limited information
* demonstrated the ability to develop and design products, processes and systems while taking into account the circumstances and needs of individuals and the targets for economically, socially and ecologically sustainable development set by the community
* demonstrated the capacity for teamwork and collaboration with various constellations, and
* demonstrated the ability to present his or her conclusions and the knowledge and arguments on which they are based in speech and writing to different audiences in both national and international contexts.
Judgement and approach
For a Master of Science in Engineering the student shall have:
* demonstrated the ability to make assessments informed by relevant disciplinary, social and ethical aspects as well as awareness of ethical aspects of research and development work
* demonstrated insight into the possibilities and limitations of technology, its role in society and the responsibility of the individual for how it is used, including both social and economic aspects and also environmental and occupational health and safety considerations, and
* demonstrated the ability to identify the need for further knowledge and undertake ongoing development of his or her skills.
For a Master of Science in Engineering, Sustainable Process Engineering, the student shall be able to
• Demonstrate the fundamental knowledge required for specialisation in applied engineering subjects, and the ability to provide broad technical knowledge within chemical engineering to serve as a basis for work with production, research and development within the process industry and research and development institutes belonging to the process industry or universities;
• Demonstrate the ability to efficiently use IT and measurement devices for experimental and scientific work, and to exercise the combination of knowledge and skills from different subjects;
• Demonstrate the ability to present technical and scientific problems and results, in writing and orally, for professionals and laypersons in both Swedish and in English;
• Demonstrate the ability to use computers for design and simulation of industrial processes;
• Demonstrate insight in engineering methodology including the identification, formulation and solving of problems given constraints in time and economic resources;
• Demonstrate the capacity for team work and provision for development of responsible leadership. The student may place part of the education abroad for the student to attain international experience and an understanding of other cultures.
After completed the education programme, the student have:
· knowledge of unit operations and processes within biochemical and chemical engineering,
· knowledge about synthetic and biological catalysts, reactors and their use in industrial processes and environmental applications,
· ability to design and optimise the equipment required for biochemical or chemical processes with regard of sustainable development,
· Knowledge and insight about doctorial studies.
After completed the education programme, the student have:
· knowledge of unit operations and processes for mineral winning and metal production,
· abilities in the use of computers to investigate statistical and process technology connections in industrial processes and to model, simulate and design them,
· Knowledge to minimise energy consumption and resource utilisation, reducing the amount of green-house gases, eliminating dust emissions, and to apply these principles to sustainable mineral winning and metal production,
· Knowledge and insight about doctorial studies.
The credits stated indicate the total for all courses leading to the degree. All courses are to have been completed and passed.
A requirement for the award of a Master of Science in Engineering is completion by the student of an independent project (degree project) for at least 30 credits. (The Higher Education Ordinance, Annex 2 Qualifications ordinance)
For the Master of Science in Engineering degree equivalent to 300 credits, it is a requirement that a minimum of 90 credits shall consist of courses at second cycle level. (Riktlinjer för Bolognaanpassning (Guidelines for Bologna adaptation), LTU Dnr 783-06)
All course requirements for this degree are stated in the official syllabus.
A degree certificate will be issued upon application to students who fulfil the requirements for a degree.
