- Content
- Independent investigation with guidance from a supervisor, on an approved topic within engineering. The results shall be written in a report including all necessary text, tables and figures, using an appropriate format (Departments front pages, half page abstract in Faroese and English for the general audience, Table of content, Introduction with appropriate literature review, Materials and method, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, References and Appendices).
