Semester Project
In the Semester Project, students gain their first experience of research and development in the nuclear engineering field, deploying the knowledge and competences acquired in the first two semesters.
The project is generally realized within six full-time study weeks in the third semester at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), parallel to the PSI courses, and concluded with a written report and a presentation.
The supervisor of the Semester Project is always a professor from ETH Zurich or EPF Lausanne.
The Semester Project corresponds to a workload of 240 hours (6 weeks full-time) and can be completed in part- or full-time. The project must be registered through myStudies until latest one month after the start date and the submission deadline has to be defined, too. The given details are binding. Students are instructed to read the notice on plagiarism. The Semester Project will be produced independently by the student, who adheres to the general practice of source citation in this subject.
The Director of Studies may approve an extension of the submission deadline, if cogent reasons are given. To request an extension of the submission deadline for a project or thesis, the following form needs to be filled in Download Request to extend project/thesis (PDF, 613 KB) and submitted either by email or by post to the D-MAVT Student Administration.
