The course consists of a project that may involve a theoretical or experimental study in the field of highway and railway engineering. Alternatively, the project can be conducted as a literature review. The work should include elements such as goal formulation, data collection, presentation, and discussion or analysis of results. The project can be carried out in a group with other doctoral students, but the roles and contributions of each participant must be clearly described to allow for individual assessment.
