Bachelor Thesis in Chemistry and Environmental Engineering (KJEBAC)
The bachelor's thesis is an independent project in which you will apply theknowledge acquired during your studies for solving a given assignment. It is through this assignment that you will show your abilities and qualities as a coming engineer.
The assignment will normally be carried out during the last semester of your studies. At this stage you will have acquired the knowledge and know-how needed for accomplishing a relevant assignment in your studies.

A bachelor´s or master´s thesis can normally be submitted only once, cf. Regulations for Examinations at the University of Stavanger, § 7.1. The dean can allow one more attempt if a student wants to improve her/his grade. The student(s) must then write a new thesis on a new topic.
A bachelor´s or master´s thesis that has been graded Fail, can only be submitted again once in a revised form. It must be handed in within the deadline and counts as a second sitting for examination, cf. Regulations for Examinations at the University of Stavanger, § 8,2g. A bachelor´s or a master´s thesis not submitted in time will be graded Fail.

Topic for essay (Philosophy of science or Ethics) will be selected randomly after the last lecture. The essay is submitted electronically using It's learning. Character: Pass/No passFor students who get a no pass, an improved essay can be resubmitted within two weeks after the grades were made public. A pass is required for a student to be allowed to submit the bachelor thesis. For students who are writing their bachelor thesis during fall, the course must be taken the previous semester. It is not possible to take the course one year early for student that is writing the bachelor thesis during the spring semester. If a candidate withdraws from the bachelor thesis, then the candidate cannot submit the essay in philosophy of science. If the essay has been passed, but the candidate wants to resubmit the bachelor thesis (because it failed or to obtain a improved grade), the pass will stand.

Project work. It is important both to the student and the advisor that a good cooperation routine is established during the execution of the project. This may e.g. take the form of regular meetings in which the student will present and discuss his/her work as it develops. Preferably th student should have written something that can form the basis of the conversation/discussion with the advisor. It is an adventage to start writing the thesis at the earliest possible stage.
Philosophy of science and EthicsThe lectures will be 4 hour per week in week 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. It is planned to stream the lectures. The essay must be submitted by March 15 (the essay must be between 7 and 10 pages). Topic for essay (Philosophy of science or Ethics) will be selected randomly after the last lecture. The essay is submitted electronically using It's learning.

Åpent for
Litteratur
The selection of literature depends on the individual task, and will often be an integrated part of the thesis work. All literature that was applied and contributed to the understanding of the thesis work shall be given as references in the thesis. References are a list of books and papers that has been referred to in the thesis. It is important to clarify within the thesis what knowledge is found in references and what is your own contribution. When text is taken from a source e.g. a scientific paper, the reader should be made aware of this. It is good practice to write down references continuously during the work, as it is difficult to backtrack and retrieve them later. More information can be found in the TN-faculty's guidelines for the bachelor thesis.
The section of Philosophy of science and Ethics will use the books: "Per Arne Bjørkum: ”Annerledestenkerne - Kreativitet i vitenskapens historie", 3. ed. 2009 and "Svein Aage Christoffersen; Handling og dømmekraft, 2012".
