2.Pilot Project

The pilot project period should include a short training at different Labs. The labs will be decided by the academic advisor to be related to the proposed student's project. The professional diploma students must participate in a teamwork project, which is based on self-learning. Students are encouraged to present innovative concepts and competitive solutions. The pilot project should start at the beginning of the second semester.

• Pilot Project (6 Credits)
