The objective of the interdisciplinary project is:
-
To provide the student with broad and practical knowledge of product development disciplines through a practical and theoretical project in the mentor company/own company or other company.
-
To let the student use some of the acquired knowledge from the course GPD1 and other relevant knowledge (own search) in a problem oriented project.
-
To train the student in perspectivating the acquired theoretical and/or practical knowledge in the project.
-
To further strengthen the student's capabilities in project oriented teamwork in a company compared to previously project TVP1, TVP2 and CRP3.
-
Furthermore to train the student in using new and previously taught working methods to describe parts of problems through analysing the problem. Subsequent the project aim is drawn up.
-
To gain practical knowledge about planning and solving a defined problem within a given time period in a close and binding collaboration with the advisor, in order for the project to contain a documented and usable solution.
-
To ensure that the student acquire routines with project within their field of profession.
It is a precondition for the success of the project that a close and committed cooperation between all interested parties throughout the entire project period is established. (Mentor company, Own company or other company)
The centre of GMCRP4 is a general product development task where further development of the process-related skills, work methods and practice of acquired theories are stimulated through a problem-based project.
The student will be working on a problem based project in relation to the GMGPD1 course development. The project must contain and apply in practice elements from the GMGPD1 course and other relevant scientific knowledge.
Due to CRP4 being coordinated with the GPD1 course, it is possible for student to carry out interviews with key employees of the cooperating company, collect data and carry out structured analyses and subsequently identifying the main problem in close cooperation with the advisor.
The students are to hand in a project with a clear problem statement, which through diverse analyses is answered in the following processes.
Development of the student's independent project management skills and skills in independent learning in a problem oriented project.
Development the student's creative skill in finding the optimal solutions for the given problem - preferable in cooperation with the project company.
The courses OPE1, MAN1, TVP1, TVP2 and CRP3 must have been passed by the student.
Concurrently with the course, the student must attend the courses GPD1 and GKO2

Focus at the exam will be on the solution and implementation of the project results.
Project report
The project report is evaluated on the basis of the degree the student or students have included relevant theoretical aspects in relation to the problem to be solved.
It is required that at least four scientific articles are used in project.
In addition, it will be evaluated in relation to the degree in which the student or students have succeeded in communicating clearly its suggestions for solving the problem and implementing the suggestions professionally. All economic considerations must cover the total economy when implementing the suggestions.
Emphasis will also be on the student's or students' ability to work structured with a suggestion for solving the problem, incl. its ability to incorporate knowledge internally and externally in relation to the company.
Management report
The management report is evaluated on the basis of the degree to which the student or group succeeded in involving relevant aspects from the project report in order for the responsible persons of the project company to make the right decisions. The foundation must be so extensive that it is possible to establish the necessary ground for decision.
The process report
The process report is evaluated on the basis of the student or students ability to reflect on the cooperation with the company, incl. its ability to reflect on the communication with the company and the educational aspects of the cooperation. In addition, the student will be evaluated on its reflection on the project management incl. project aim, planning and follow-up.
Focus at the examination will be on the possibility of solving or implementing the result of the project.

Oral examination based on the completed project report.
External censor
The evaluation and examination is based on the complete project report incl. the management report, process report and enclosures. It is an individual exam based on the complete project report.
If more than 1 student have worked together and created a joint project report, then the student needs to include a list stating which student have contributed with what. Maximum 2 students for one report if they are in the same mentor company.
Each student will get an individual mark according to the Danish 7-step scale.
In general the course is evaluated according to the guidelines for evaluation.
