Master thesis days at the Department of Energy Technology

At the Department of Energy Technology there are two big thesis presentation days in June and August. Each division has its own session, namely Applied thermodynamics and refrigeration, Heat and power technology and Energy system analysis.

We have two thesis presentation days at the Department of Energy Technology. There are three parallel sessions for each division at the department, namely Applied thermodynamics and refrigeration, Heat and power technology and Energy system analysis. The thesis work related to each of these divisions thematic area will be held in separate presentation rooms, physically and on-campus.

The dates of the presentations are June 4 and August 22, 2024. There will be a link to a sign-up for each of these events published at Canvas rooms and also at this web page. Those of the students who are not able to present during these two days will have to obtain a special permission from the programme director to proceed further.

More about the thesis presentation

  • The thesis shall be presented at the master thesis days in June or August (if you have a late start with your thesis project). Note! Latest start date is 1 March for normal master programme students.
  • External supervisors and industrial partners will be invited to the thesis presentation day when the program is finalized.
  • 1st year students will be invited as well.

The sessions will take place in a lecture room, but exceptions may be given to Zoom presentations, for example for students presenting from abroad. However, we urge you to present physically at KTH inviting your family, friends and the teachers.

You sign up to present in the thesis day. After scheduling the day, you will be assigned to a presentation time slot of 45 minutes (each presentation will start 15 min past the hour, so in case of extensive or detailed discussions there is additional time for the discussion). Plan your presentation to be 20 minutes (rehearse and adapt the number of slides and slide contents to your presentation pace).

The remaining time is dedicated to opposition by another student and a discussion with the audience.

During the opposition you discuss your work with the opposing student. The discussion is led by the opposing student.

Participation during half of the thesis presentation day is mandatory (morning or afternoon depending on when you present), although you are very welcome to attend the full day.
