Method for engineering students : degree projects using the 4-phase Model

Method for engineering students provides an overview of how to formulate, design, produce and deliver a thesis of good quality. The book is relevant for all types of degree projects on bachelors" and masters" levels and is also useful when performing research work in other contexts. This is the first comprehensive book on research methodology for engineering students who are performing their degree project within or close to the social sciences. The book has been inspired by modern product design - the thesis is seen as a product - and takes as its starting point the fact that one may have two clients when carrying out a degree project (Academia and Industry). It also describes how to work one"s way through the process through the development of different prototypes. We see the thesis work as a form of craft and the book contains the most important scientific tools that are needed in order to make informed choices.
