The aim of the course is to sharpen the skills of the electronic engineering students, by participating in projects, that are to be identified in collaboration with the industry. Every project will be assigned a faculty advisor. The students may work independently or jointly (in small groups) on these projects, The duration of the project is one full year. The progress will be monitored through interim reports and presentations. A final report will be due at the end of the term.
