The course is heavily project- and problem-oriented in its pedagogical approach. The course takes place in conjunction with business and educators, researchers, graduate students and technical staff. The chosen topic of the year determines the other elements to be included in the course. Of great importance in the course is that students who have studied different specialisations are brought together again and can apply this knowledge in the field. The course will alternate with seminars, group tutorials, literature studies, field visits etc.
