European Project Semester Programme description

For å kunne fremstille seg til eksamen må studenten ha følgende obligatorisk aktivitet godkjent:

1. Obligatorisk deltakelse i seminarer og prosjektgruppe.

Det kreves 80 % deltagelse på seminarer og i prosjektgruppe. Prosjektgruppen bestemmer selv hvordan deltagelse i gruppearbeidet skal registreres og dokumenteres. Ved fravær over 20%, og som ikke overstiger 40 % gis et skriftlig arbeidskrav. Arbeidskravet må være gjennomført og godkjent innen fastlagt frist. Fravær utover 40 % medfører tap av eksamensrett.

Begrunnelsen for krav om tilstedeværelse er at studenten ved dette får mulighet til å tilegne seg en kompetanse som både er en del av formålet med emnet, og som studenten ikke kan tilegne seg ved kun å lese pensum og/eller ta eksamen.

Obligatorisk aktivitet må være gjennomført og godkjent innen fastlagt frist for at studenten skal kunne framstille seg til eksamen.

The program is mainly offered to third year engineering students, but students from other disciplines may apply.

The EPS is also an alternative to writing the regular final thesis for third year bachelor students at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design.

Candidates must have a qualification equivalent to two years of relevant education at a higher education institution. Proficiency in English is required.

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt så lenge regler for kildehenvisning følges.

Bestått/ikke bestått.

EPS project groups are composed of 3 to 5 students who work on a specific project for the duration of the semester.

In addition to the group project, students attend classes in Project Management English and Academic Writing, and specifically themed guest lectures. Teaching is a combination of lectures, seminars and individual and group assignments.

The forms of assessment used shall promote learning and document that the students¿ competence is adequate in relation to the applicable learning outcome.

A grading scale from A to E is used, where A denotes the highest grade, E denotes the lowest, and F denotes a fail. Grades are assigned according to the Assessment Criteria for Bachelor's Theses in Engineering set by the Norwegian Association for Higher Education Institutions.

Provisions governing examinations are laid down in the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University. Please refer to OsloMet's website: www.oslomet.no

The purpose of the Quality Assurance System at OsloMet is to strengthen the student's learning outcome and development by increasing the quality throughout.  OsloMet wants to cooperate with its students and their participation in the Quality Assurance System is crucial. Some of the overall goals of the Quality Assurance System are to ensure:

• the educational institution, including practical training, learning and study environment maintains a high standard
• relevance of the study programmes for the professional field
• continuous development and improvements in the quality of teaching and learning

Students will be required to complete an EPS Course Evaluation Form at the end of the semester.
