Learning objectives

The goal of this course is to support the individual creative student work during the engineering project solving, its formal description and defence.
Knowledge and experience with engineering project building, its documentation, and defence.
Own time management during creation of a complex engineering project. Communication with and reporting to the project supervisor. Presentation of the project by the final technical report and defense.

Why is the course taught

Within the Year Project, the student selects a topic from the given set of technical assignments according to their focus of study and will individually - under the supervision of the supervisor - work on solving it. They will learn to decompose a complex technical problem, study relevant literature and other sources, and to come up with a technical solution, document it and defend it in a scholarly debate.

Study literature
