    How this course works:
    • The main activity in the course is participating in one project which is a group work of about 4-5 students.
    • All project topics are proposed by EEA department, own topics are not possible. Each project topic has an expert instructor, working in the department.
    • The project topics will be found in the "Project topics" section before the course kick-off lecture.
    • Select five topics based on your preferences. The groups will be formed by the teachers' board after overall assessment in which student preferences and available positions are taking into account.
    • The groups will select a project manager among themselves during the first 2-3 weeks.
    • Later on, there is a business case exercise related to your project topic, supported with lectures.
    • Final Gala will take place 23.5.2024, by that time all the technical work in the project should be completed. After that, there is about one week to complete the final report.
    • The grading of the course is based on self-assessment, peer-evaluation within the project group and teacher assessment. This will be done the first time after week 12 and the second time after week 21. Each student will get a personal grade from 1 to 5.
