M.Sc. of Process Safety Engineering and Intelligent Systems / Assessment Methods

A variety of assessment methods are utilized to evaluate theoretical, practical, and research-related competencies. These include:

  • Theoretical Examinations:

    1. Midterm and final exams to assess understanding of concepts in core and elective courses.

    2. Open-ended questions and problem-solving exercises to evaluate critical and analytical thinking skills.

  • Assignments and Reports:

    1. Analytical assignments such as process modeling using MATLAB or CAD programs to assess knowledge application.

    2. Scientific report writing in courses such as Research Methodology to evaluate writing and analytical skills.

  • Practical Projects:

    1. Individual or group projects to assess applied skills and innovation.

    2. Evaluation of internal lab results (e.g., Advanced Process Control) based on accuracy and methodological rigor.

  • Presentations:

    1. Oral presentations in courses (e.g., Research Methodology) or during thesis defense to assess communication and presentation skills.

  • Thesis Evaluation:

    1. Written assessment by a supervisory committee based on originality, methodology, and scientific contribution.

    2. Oral defense evaluation based on the student's ability to interpret results and respond to questions.

  • Formative Assessment:

    1. Continuous feedback throughout the semester to support students’ improvement (e.g., reviewing drafts of research proposals).
