Master project in Materials Science and Engineering
Summary
The student carries out an academic or industrial research project. He/she has to display the knowledge and capability required for independent work in the field of Materials Science & Engineering.
Content
The Master thesis is a personal and original work covering theoretical and practical aspects of materials science using the knowledge of the student acquired during his/her studies and enable him/her to develop deeper knowledge, understanding, capabilities and attitudes in the field of materials science. This project is made under the supervision of a professor of the section of Materials Science and Engineering.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Formulate and deal with complex issues critically, indepently and creatively by applying a holistic view
- Plan and use adequate methods to conduct qualified tasks in given framwork
- Manage an individual research project
- Apply the comptences to a specific subject
- Present data coherently and effectively
- Develop expertise in a specific area of research
- Assess / Evaluate the results critically
- Compose the project in written form in a scientific report
- Expound the project in oral form for a scientific audience
Transversal skills
- Set objectives and design an action plan to reach those objectives.
- Use a work methodology appropriate to the task.
- Communicate effectively, being understood, including across different languages and cultures.
- Assess progress against the plan, and adapt the plan as appropriate.
- Give feedback (critique) in an appropriate fashion.
