masters thesis chalmers

Your Master’s thesis project can be carried out either in our division or at your home university. The majority of projects in the division are carried out in co-operation with industry both in and outside Sweden. We often receive project requests and ideas from industry, which we try to coordinate with the wishes of our students. We recommend that you, at an early stage, discuss possible thesis topics with teachers in the division. They will be your supervisors and examiners. Please also feel free to contact potential industrial partners and suggest thesis topics of your own.

Since the thesis is an important opportunity for you to apply and extend the knowledge gained during your studies, it is essential that you, already in an early planning stage, involve one of the teachers at the division. The examiners at the division are responsible for the thesis having the required quality. This means that it is the examiner who has final say on whether the project will be approved as a Master’s thesis project or not. The reason for this is to ensure that the project has a well defined topic that can be investigated properly within the given time – usually 20 weeks – and will result in a engineering report of good quality. 

Your thesis topic has to be registered before you start your thesis work. The thesis registration form has to be signed by both your examiner and the master’s programme director. At registration there should be a clear description of the thesis topic, a work plan, a time schedule, as well as names and addresses of all those involved (you and the supervisors). The time schedule should also include dates for both the half time presentation (if applicable) and the final presentation of your thesis.

Resources and Administrative Procedure

From Chalmers’ viewpoint, your thesis is handled as a course, and you will find the syllabus for this course here:

• Link to Master’s thesis syllabus

The course code for a 30-credit thesis is ACEX30, the code for a 60-credit thesis is ACEX60.

Example Theses

Below are three examples for successful MSc theses. They are all very different, and all of them are great.

• Maja Jansson, “ The sound environment at preschools and how it may affect children’s hearing ,” MSc thesis, Chalmers University of Technology, 2017
• Arthur Aglat and Jannik Theyssen, “ Design of a Test Rig for Railway Curve Squealing Noise ,” MSc thesis, Chalmers University of Technology, 2017
• Carl Andersson, “ Headphone Auralization of Acoustic Spaces Recorded with Spherical Microphone Arrays ,” MSc thesis, Chalmers University of Technology, 2017

Note that the aspect of ethics is becoming increasingly important with MSc thesis. See also the “Instructions for theses on the Master of Science in Engineering, Architecture and Master of Science Programmes” available here . Maja’s thesis contains a short discussion on this. This will be mandatory for future thesis.

Thesis Templates

The thesis layout and bibliographic information should have the format given in the templates that you will find below. The actual content and structure of the thesis is up to you to decide.

Please follow the guidelines regarding fonts, line spacing, etc. to ensure that the text is nicely readable. The data to be entered on the first three pages is compulsory. Numbers, names, titles, abstract, and keywords in exactly this format makes it easy for us to have a homogeneous entry of the reports in the library database. You also expect others to provide such information, so that you can do proper literature searches. Please also note that you should optimise your figures to ensure that they are clearly readable.

If you use Microsoft Word, it is recommended that you use the built-in spell and grammar checking functionality. In order to make it behave the way you want you need to change the settings from “normal” document type to “technical” document type. This is generally done in the “Tools”->”Spelling and Grammar…” menu. One thing that is not included in this functionality is the tempus.

In order to make your report readable you need to keep track of what tempus to use yourself. The general rule is that everything you read in other reports should be written i past tense – “Cremer & Heckl [1] found that…”. All your own measurements should also be in past tense – “The sound level was measured in six positions and the average level was found to be 55dB, as was expected”. Your conclusions should be written in present tense – “Judging by the results there seems to be a tendency that increased loudness causes increased annoyance”.

• The official Chalmers information can be found here .
• The most popular template uses Latex and can be found here .

Below follow a few older templates that you may adapt.

The official Microsoft’s Word template for you to use in your report writing follows below. If you experience problems with fonts or anything else, contact us. The zipped archive contains a template for the complete report as well as for the report and cover separately. Use the latter if the complete template brings some problems.

• Thesis template: Adapted Master Thesis ZIP

The following two templates are a bit simpler in structure than the ones above. They are also available for the Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows operating systems, although the platform issue should not be a problem. Use them if you run in trouble with the one above.

• Mac Version: Master thesis mac.zip
• PC Version: Master thesis windows.zip

The two templates above do not contain the cover page so this is added extra. It is best to enter the data on the cover page together with your thesis supervisor.

• Cover page: Coverpage ta.zip

The following LATEX version of the official template (by Joachim Schlechter) is also available:

• LATEX version : Master thesis LATEX.zip

Note that the thesis templates may cause some text on the cover and on the initial pages to appear in the Courier or other font. You must change the font so that it becomes Times New Roman.

Thesis Completion and Publishing

You should make your thesis available to your thesis advisor early, months before it is completed. Write your thesis as you work, do not save the writing to the end.

Once you have finished writing, there may be little time left for necessary corrections, which will delay your thesis from being accepted. The completeness and correctness of your thesis is determined by your advisor.

Your thesis will be published electronically here: https://odr.chalmers.se/home . You take care of the printing process, but before that, please discuss the process with your advisor.

This is the case for Magna company, which assembles a variety of automotive electronics. This study aims to evaluate the environmental performance of Magna’s camera system throughout its lifecycle. To do this, a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted from raw materials extraction and acquisition to the final product transportation to the customer’s door. This assessment is performed in accordance with the ISO 14040-series. The LCA study is completed utilising OpenLCA software along with the Ecoinvent v3.10 database. Two impact categories are selected to be in focus when assessing the impacts: climate change, and mineral resource scarcity (with two different indicators). The product’s environmental performance is analysed for two scenarios: a base case and an alternative transport. The key findings indicate that the total environmental performance of the alternative transport scenario, where air cargo is swapped for shipping at sea, is the lowest. The printed circuit board (PCB) is the main contributor to the total impact in both scenarios. A sensitivity analysis is done for the mass of integrated circuits mounted on the PCB, being the major contributor in all impact categories. Consequently, results are relatively sensitive to the integrated circuit mass alterations due to the energy-consuming production of this sub-component and its use of several hazardous and precious substances.

Master Thesis

I have extensive experience in supervising (42) and examining (100+) Master Theses in Software Engineering, Software Technology, and Software Development. Below you can find some examples of theses I have supervised as well as thesis topics I am interested in.

However, my interests are broad; if you are a good student don't hesitate to contact me and we can discuss it. If you are not a student with top grades and ambition do not bother; I get very many requests and it is unlikely I can help you.

When at BTH I worked for several years in a project to improve Master Theses in Software Engineering. The processes, supporting documents and lectures as well as rubrics for quality that I developed can be found on this page . If I supervise your thesis you can expect to use this material extensively. You can also expect that the aim is both industrial relevance/effect and academic publication; this gives you the best options for your future career after the thesis.

Master Theses - Supervised

Papers based on master theses.

I always have the goal that master theses I supervise should be published. I will generally help and encourage students to publish if the work is good enough. A large number of papers in my publication list are the results from master thesis projects. The students are always included in a publication based on their thesis project; depending on the level of contribution to the work itself and to the final paper we will decide on author order. A representative sample of such papers can be found below:

• Publications
• Presentations

• Langson Library
• Science Library
• Grunigen Medical Library
• Law Library

You are here, the work card.

• Posted on: 25 November 2015
• By: almstroj
• Updated on:

Your activities during the thesis work are documented on the master’s thesis work card. It can be downloaded from the forms and templates section

The work card will follow you through the project, and you need to get it signed as you finish the required tasks:

• You have an approved planning report for your master’s thesis — signed by examiner.
• You have attended the mandatory lectures — signed by lecturer.
• Your midterm report has been approved — signed by examiner.
• You have listened to at least two master thesis presentations — signed by examiner present at the presentation.
• You have acted as the opponent to someone else’s master thesis — signed by examiner present at the presentation.
• You have made your own oral presentation — signed by examiner.
• The written report has passed through the plagiarism tool Urkund — signed by examiner.
• The written report has been approved by the examiner — signed by examiner.
• You get a final signature from the examiner when all is done — signed by examiner.

Print the work card and bring it to the presentations and other activities where it is to be signed.

Note:  Failing to fulfill the checklist above and have it documented on the work card can have as a result that the examiner terminates your work and you will have to restart with a new project on a new topic.
