CONTENT

This course allows students to work in a real-life project with a company. The projects are expected to contribute not only to the educational mission but also to solving particular problems as the companies. In a semester-long project, the students work in teams, advised by a faculty and a company advisor, and expected to make several site-visits. Each team presents their project results to the company in a final report and an oral presentation. Admission to the course is highly competitive and students will be admitted by the undergraduate program coordinator or a designate after a series of interviews.
