Specific information
The Entrepreneurship part overlap with other CDIO courses and cannot be included more than once in a degree.
Exchange students may apply for the course after arrival to the university but before it starts. The international officer for exchange studies must be contacted before applying.
Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
The mandatory mathematics courses on the Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering programme. The course offers various projects, and depending on the project chosen additional prerequisites may be required. Knowledge about the LIPS project modelIntended learning outcomes
The project work shall be carried through in an industrial professional manner, and it shall develop and solidify the participants' competence in the following areas:
- Analysing and structuring problems
- Seeking out and assimilating supplementary knowledge
- Writing and follow-up of project plans and time plans
- Actively contributing to the project group functioning well
- Applying knowledge from previous courses
- Taking initiatives and finding creative solutions
- Presenting results in writing and orally
- Potential and limitations of using mathematical modeling as a real-world problem solving method
- Maintain high technical standards, and be based on modern knowledge and methods in applied mathematics
- Be documented with a project plan, a time plan, and a technical report
- Be presented orally
- Be followed up in a project reflection document
- Fulfil the requirement specification
A purpose for the course is also for the students to acquire knowledge and abilities within the general area of entrepreneurship, with particular focus on business planning for new ventures. After the course, students should be able to:
- account for models that describe what it takes for a new venture to have a stable basis for further development and to asess the level of development of ventures using such models; and
- account for the information and analyses needed to evaluate a development project from a business point of view and have the ability to collect and analyse relevant information for the purpose.
Course content
The projects vary from one year to the other. They are based on knowledge from previous courses. For example, one project might be to model a medieval trebuchet mathematically, and the product could be a computer program for simulation.
Teaching and working methods
One lecture for presenting the project, and possibly some basic theory. The project group shall consist of at least four students. Each group is assigned a supervisor to support its work. Before the project work is started, the project group shall negotiate a requirement specification with the customer, and write a project plan and a time plan for the project. The project shall be carried out according to the LIPS project model. The project documents shall adhere to the templates that are part of the LIPS model.
The course runs over the entire autumn semester.Examination
UPG1 Entrepreneurship assignments 3 credits U, G PRA1 Written and oral presentation of the project 9 credits U, G The project work will be judged by the fulfilment of the aims of the course. The following three items are each graded by pass/fail: written documentation, oral presentation, and LIPS documents (including at least project plan, time plan, and a project reflection document). For a passing grade on the whole project, it is required that all three items are approved, and that the aims of the course are fulfilled.
Grades are given as ’Fail’ or ’Pass’.Grades
