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
For admission to the course, see the LiTH's general regulations for the candidate's work in the Master of Science in Engineering Program in the student handbook. In addition, TFKE36 Biokemi 2 is required.
Intended learning outcomes
Subject knowledge
The students are expected to
- systematically integrate knowledge acquired during the studies, especially in the field of protein engineering
- apply experimental knowledge and subject knowledge in the main field of study
- benefit from the content of relevant literature and relate their work to it
Personal and professional skills
The students are expected to demonstrate an ability to
- plan, complete and report an independent work
- account for and explain general models and theories about organisation, management and control of projects
- formulate questions and set limitations within given time frames
- search for and evaluate scientific literature
Working in groups and communicating
The students are expected to demonstrate an ability to
- professionally express themselves in writing and orally
- critically review and discuss an independent work presented in speech and writing
- use methods for planning, structuring, monitoring and evaluating projects
- understand the necessary conditions for constructive interaction between managers and participants in a project
CDIO engineering skills
The students are expected to be able to
- create, analyse and/or evaluate technical solutions within the subject area of protein engineering
- make assessments with regard to relevant scientific, social and ethical aspects
Course content
Physical / chemical properties of proteins are studied using biophysical methods such as fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism. Specific course content is determined individually for each group in consultation with the examiner and supervisor. The work will be carried out in the main field of study.
The course also includes practical application of key concepts and methods in project management, eg group dynamics, project planning, project management role and project management and organization.
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of independent work in project form where the project is planned, monitored and reported on a continuous basis. For each group of students, a supervisor and examiner are appointed. The course is taking place throughout the spring.
