Introduction to course
Problem Based Learning in Science, Technology and Society (PV)
Size: 5 ECTS i P0/P1
Prerequisites: No special prerequisites for the module.
Objectives:
The students shall theoretically as well as practically understand how to
plan and execute a scientific problem-based project with
technological, social and humanistic relevance. This includes an
understanding of how technological aspects and contextual
circumstances can be identified and included in the development of a
problem solution.

Introduction to course
Organization and examination:
 The course is organized as a mix of lectures, seminares,
workshops, group consultation and self studies
 After some of the lessons each group shall prepare a
written response to exercises relating to the lecture.
 The written assignments are included in a portfolio that is
used to:
1.
2.
3.
Reflection to the status seminar
Reflection and documentation (evidence) for process analysis
Background (maybe appendices) and repetition for the exam
 The course is examined individually based on a written
exercise based on the portfolio’s (7 hours)
