Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the student will
- understand and be able to evaluate the demands associated with the duties of an engineer and know how
- be able to apply previously learned knowledge and skills to independent

Problem-solving situations and acquiring new information.
The purpose of the Project Studies is to nurture students' growth into the engineering profession and to provide them with an opportunity to acquire special expertise in applying meat and food processing technology to practical problems and challenges while working in the field. Project studies also develop students' problem-solving and information acquisition abilities as well as their skills in communicating and interacting with others.

- of which scheduled studies: 2-5 h/ects
- of which autonomous studies: 20-23 h/ects

Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses

No previous studies are required.

Contents

The method of implementation is practical working in Projektipaja and/or as personal studies on the job with the tasks given by the employer which support the learning objectives of studies. The studies include the introduction seminar of the project and its result. At the beginning of the study module three learning tasks will be determined. The learning tasks are connected to the field of food technology . The Projektipaja trademark studies are working life integrated studies, in other words job studies. The objective of the project workshop is that the students get the know-how which is new, deeper or wider and which is related to the engineer's profession. At the same time they are adopting and training technical, production know-how and project skills. The projects are made with the school and mainly 2 -5 in the student's teams. Students can participate in the projects from several training programs and from units.
