Engineering Dissertation Topics

A dissertation (or a final year project report) is a comprehensive technical report of the research work carried out. A dissertation must present some new, original concepts that lead to further research. The core area of a dissertation consists of a hypothesis (or a research question) upon which an investigation is conducted and, in most cases, inevitably leads to further research. A dissertation must be focused, concise and must address the research topics at every level. Also, along with research, a dissertation is expected to present complete evidence of research work in the form of research methods. Sometimes it’s hard to even know where to start. Herein, many engineering research areas, currently being sought after in the industry and academia, are suggested, including electronics, sensors technology, environmental engineering, supply chain engineering, computer science engineering, electrical engineering and civil engineering, to help you start your research.

Student Guide

Master's Programme in Automation and Electrical Engineering

Programme main page, agree on the topic with a professor.

• Register to ELEC-E0210 Master's thesis process
• Apply for Master’s thesis supervisor, advisor(s) and topic approval

Write the Master’s thesis

Give a seminar presentation, maturity essay, apply for the approval of your master’s thesis, where can i find topic for my master's thesis.

You must agree on a master's thesis topic with a professor from the subject field of your major. There are three primary sources for finding a topic:

• topics offered by research groups as a part of ongoing research projects (announced on department websites, during courses, etc.)
• individual topics offered by professors (announced on professors' websites or agreed individually)
• topics offered by companies, the public sector, etc.

There is no general list of available topics. In all cases, you should contact the corresponding professor directly yourself. If you do not find a funded thesis position, you may always do your thesis in one of the university's research groups without funding. All supervisors are obliged to offer you a topic. You can also suggest a topic based on your own interests. 

Descriptions of possible thesis topic areas by professors in each programme:

Electronics and Nanotechnology Automation and Electrical Engineering Computer, Communication and Information Sciences

Master's thesis supervisor and advisor

The supervisor of the thesis must be a professor or a university lecturer working in Aalto University. The supervisor’s responsibility is to provide guidance on the scientific validity and format of the thesis and the thesis as a whole. You must also have one or two advisors for your thesis. A master's thesis advisor must have completed at least a master's degree. The advisor's role is to take care of day-to-day guidance and support the student in the planning and execution of the experimental part of the thesis as well as in the writing process. The supervisor of the thesis can also work as the advisor.

At the beginning of the thesis process, the supervisor and the student (and possibly advisor(s)) should organize an initial master's thesis meeting. Initial master's thesis meeting template is below.

Register to ELEC-E0210 Master's thesis process (if applicable)

If ELEC-E0210 is part of your major's compulsory courses, remember to register for the course. The course is compulsory in many programmes in ELEC but students from programmes where it is not compulsory can also attend. Register for the course as soon as you have agreed on the topic with your supervisor. The course supports you during the initial stages of your thesis. Register in Sisu and then proceed to the further steps according to the instructions on the course's MyCourses page.

Apply for Master's thesis supervisor, advisor(s) and topic approval

Apply for approval of the thesis supervisor, advisor(s) and the topic as soon as you have agreed about the topic with your thesis supervisor.

For the application it is sufficient that you have agreed on the topic in a broad sense, i.e. the field of the thesis. The final title of the thesis will be developed during the thesis work, and the final title must be within the field of the original approved topic. Supervisor, advisor(s) and topic approval applications are approved continuously and there are no certain application deadlines. Applications are processed within a month. If your thesis topic, supervisor, language, and advisor have been approved 31.7.2023 or before according to the old instructions (valid until 31.7.2024) by the degree programme committee, i.e. your "topic approval date" is 1.8.2023 or before, you must apply for the approval.

How to apply for Master’s thesis supervisor, advisor(s) and topic approval

Apply for the approval of your thesis supervisor, advisor(s) and topic in MyStudies service (mystudies.aalto.fi) by creating a thesis record in the Thesis tab of MyStudies. Instructions on how to create the thesis record can be found from MyStudies. It is strongly recommended that you apply for approval of the supervisor, advisor(s) and topic as soon as you have agreed on a topic with your thesis supervisor.

The application is processed by the suggested thesis supervisor and another decision maker, who is either the programme director or major responsible professor, depending on your programme. The application is processed within a month. You will be informed by email and in MyStudies when the application has been approved. Please note, that the supervisor, advisor(s) and topic must be approved in MyStudies before you can submit the final version of the thesis for evaluation. Application must be submitted in MyStudies at the latest a month before submitting the thesis to ensure, that the supervisor, advisor(s) and topic approval is processed before submitting the thesis.

The target time for completing the thesis is six months. Time used for completing the thesis affects the thesis evaluation. Note, that this time period is not calculated from the approval date of the supervisor, advisor(s) and topic but from the actual start date of the thesis as agreed and judged by the thesis supervisor. In the thesis record you can set planned start date for the thesis and estimate of when the thesis will be completed. These dates are non-binding. They are intended to serve as a framework for your thesis work, and you should agree on the target time for thesis completion with your supervisor and advisor(s).

Thesis work consists of topic definition, a research plan, a literature review, experiments, analysis, and a conclusion. It is essential to start writing the actual thesis from the very beginning and continue the writing process throughout each phase of your research.

The evaluation of the Master's thesis is based on the School of Electrical Engineering common guideline for thesis evaluation . By reading the guideline you will get an idea of what is expected of a Master's thesis.

• Thesis template for LaTeX (recommended). For LaTeX use Aalto provides free accounts for students on Overlief (a web-based Latex tool) or you can download a free Latex software on your own computer.
• Thesis template for Microsoft Word .

Master's theses as public documents

Please note that a master’s thesis is a public document once it has been approved. The thesis cannot have any confidential sections. If there are confidential sections, only the "visible" part of the thesis will be evaluated and the thesis must form a coherent whole without the concealed parts. Read more about theses as public documents .

A seminar presentation about the topic of your thesis is a compulsory part of the thesis approval process. You must agree on the schedule and arrangements of your seminar presentation with your thesis supervisor. When applying for approval of your thesis you must indicate whether you have already held the seminar presentation or provide the date of the upcoming presentation. Please note that the seminar presentation must be completed at the latest by the deadline for submitting theses and applications.

Once you have completed the seminar presentation, your thesis supervisor will mark the seminar presentation completed in MyStudies at the same time with the thesis evaluation.

According to the Universities Act 794/2004 students are required to complete a maturity essay. The abstract of your thesis will serve as the maturity essay. Hence, you don't need to agree on writing a maturity essay separately with your supervisor. When you submit your thesis with an abstract completed according to the instruction in the master's thesis template, your maturity essay is considered done.

The Master’s thesis is evaluated in the Degree Programme Committee meeting. The thesis supervisor, advisor(s) and thesis topic must be approved in MyStudies before submitting the thesis.
