Goal(s)

The students will work on a research project in a laboratory supervised by a researcher during the academic year. This project stretches out over the whole year and will be done in groups of 4 students.
The aim is to learn and apply technical methods to solve problems of daily work in research and development.

Content(s)

In the course of the project the students are requested:

to carry out an on-topic profound bibliographic researchto present their results in form of a scientific article and a poster (cf. evaluation and exam)
