The course is mainly project based. The student will work with an advanced design mission within their own area of interest, together with a team. The basic knowledge from materials chemistry, the lectures in this course and other relevant subjects will be used to find solutions to the design problem. The course will provide skills in setting up specifications and carrying out innovative processes.
