PIFF – Programvaruexjobb för Industri- och ForskningsFramgång
[Supporting framework for Software Engineering diploma work done in collaboration between  industry and research in Sweden]

NSHU Pressmeddelande

Projektsammanfattning

Projektet PIFF syftar till att öka studenternas utbyte av examensarbeten i programvaruteknik på avancerad nivå genom att ta fram resurser för att stödja formulerande, genomförande och bedömning av examensarbeten.

Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Mälardalens högskola, Blekinge tekniska högskola och Lunds universitet.

Project Summary

Diploma degrees are awarded by academia, while diploma work is often done in collaboration with industry or a research group. The aim of the PIFF project is to improve knowledge exchange between academia, industry and research during diploma work, supporting both a student and an advisor in the different phases (planning, execution and grading/assessment) of diploma work in Software Engineering. The results of the project will be generalizable to other multidisciplinary and crossdisciplinary fields.

The project is done in collaboration between Mälardalen University, Blekinge Institute of Technology and Lund University.
