(38h lectures, 20h seminar)
Part B (Lab course)
Four labs are carried out.
The lab experiments are normally performed in groups of three. This aims to practice group dynamics. (16h plus individual work)
Part C (Project course)
The lab experiments mentioned above are presented in front of the class and shall be directed to a non-technically educated group.
(4h seminar, individual work)
