The degree project

The goals for the degree project work at ICT are as follows:

The student should:

Theses projects are examined based on three assessment criteria:

Process

The process is how your work during the project, how well can you plan and how well can you adopt knowledge and ideas. The evaluation criteria are as follows:

Note that "within agreed time frames" is a criteria for all levels of assessment.

Engineering-related and Scientific Content

The content part is what you have actually done. Have you been able to do a problem formulation, choose a methodology and do an evaluation? The evaluation criteria are as follows:

The highest assessment thus requires a very good ability to apply engineering-related and scientific skills. To meet these requirements you would have to, not only implement a complex a system but perform a scientific study and an evaluation to answer a non trivial question.

In the evaluation of the content the KTH guidelines also mandate that students should "where this is relevant, show awareness of societal and ethical aspects, including economically, socially, and ecologically sustainable development".

Presentation

The presentation part is both your written thesis and oral presentation. The evaluation criteria are as follows:

Note that for the higher assessments you need to present a well disposed report that describes the projects and its results. For the highest assessment the focus is on analysis and argumentation in both the written report and oral presentation.

Grading

At the school of ICT the grading of the project work is based on the three assessment criteria as follows. Each criteria is given a grade from 1 to 3, where 3 is excellent. All three criterion must be meet in order to pass the degree project. The sum of the three grades will then give you your final grade based on the following table.

The examiner may, after an overall impression, lower or raise the grade from this table one step.

It follows from this that the grade A is only given to a project where two out of three criteria are excellent. A very good project will give you a B and an good project will give you a C. If one criteria or more is only sufficient, the grade is D or E.

The report

When you're almost done, you will get an official thesis number. Then prepare the cover page (Word, OpenOffice). The cover page will be copied on a proper front cover to your thesis so you should also have your own front page with title etc.

Current students

Meetings

We will try to have meetings twice a month where you will present your project, the area in which you are active and your results.
