In PROE4 the students work in teams (the project groups), which
consist of 4 to 5 students each. The formation of the groups has to
be done during the first week. The formation of the groups is
students’ own responsibility, because teamwork and cooperation are
among objectives of this course. Each project group has a project
supervisor.
To provide students with skills to complete the engineering design
project from the specification to the working model of the
specified product. The results should be described in a report,
which is the part of the assessment.
PROE4 trains the students in following skills:
- to plan their own workload,
- to manage engineering design problems from the specification to
the working model,
- to manage more than one solution to the design problem,
- to study new subjects independently,
- to keep agreements
- to implement technical solutions into working model
- to communicate clearly both orally and in writing
- to work with big engineering projects in a team
- to co-operate with others in team.
The PROE4 project challenges the students to find individual
solutions to engineering problems. The “correct” solutions to the
problems in PROE4 do not exist.
The student must be able to:
1. Use concepts, theory, components and methods
introduced in the course.
2. Develop and use the engineering design methods including
mathematical modelling and control theory as introduced in the
REG4E-course.
3. Design, calculate, analyze, model, simulate,
construct and test complex systems including
control theory, microcontroller(s)/
digital hardware, analog hardware and software.
4. Plan, specify, cooperate, document and use
relevant engineering terms and language.
5. Analyze specifications, calculations, simulations
and measurements and draw clear and relevant
conclusions.
6. Analyze the reasons for differences between
simulated and actual results and discuss the
hypothesis from relevant theory or from relevant
simulations and tests

Kursusindhold:
PROE4 is the integrated project form, where students work in teams.
The aim of the project is to design and implement an autonomic
mobile robot, executing the tasks as described in the specification
of the project.
To support the technical aspects of the project, supervision is
given within the subjects: analogue and digital electronics,
practical robot-building.

Bemærkninger:
For students taking PROE4 and REG4 the same semester, there will be
common examination (PROE4 and REG4E).
The progress in the project is evaluated during the semester, in
accordance to the project scheme (milestones), in accordance with
the plan made by the group and approved by supervisor at the
beginning of the semester. At the examination each student is
allocated 15 minutes (PROE4 only) or 30 minutes (REG4E and
PROE4).
