Description In the final semester, from May to August, students work on a practicum or major project of a practical nature. Here, the students individually or in small teams develop prototype systems to solve a real-world problem. The projects, which may be sponsored by external clients or involve some of the students' or staff's own ideas, typically require feasibility studies followed by creation of a project plan, and development of a software application or a rigorous theoretical analysis. This also allows students to work on projects for external or funding organisations | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
