Course content
Students are assigned a concrete problem to solve individually, related to one of the research areas pursued by the department. They create the solution under the guidance of an experienced mentor, usually going through the steps: problem analysis, solution design considering alternatives, implementation, verification, creation of documents, presentation of results. A key part of the project is creating a medium-size software application and/or analytical study.
