Course objectives:
|
In the thesis related projects students prove their ability to apply, independently and creatively, the knowledge gained in the course of their studies. Under the guidance of their tutors they work on the theoretical part, and subsequently also on the practical part of their theses. They analyse the state of the art in the given area, present possible solutions and evaluate them. The chosen solutions are then developed further and described in detail in their theses.
