Graduation Project I

Conceptual Design: Students follow systematic design approach, apply project planning and scheduling techniques, devise analytical, computational and/or experimental solutions, and design and build their own test-rig. Students attend technical seminars and learn to interact with speakers and at the end of the semester; they are required to present a seminar on the project status, progress and future work.
