In line with industrial, commercial and service company demands, to ensure the competence-based capacity building of students, primarily in the areas of cooperation and team work, and in putting theoretical knowledge into practice.

In the course of project work, students can master the problem solving ability, approach, and way of thinking expected at their future place of work after graduating from the university.

Considerations for forming teams

Project work can provide opportunities for students involved in different areas of science to cooperate in practice with the assistance of institutional coordinators.
When forming teams, it is important that members should have different competencies supplementing each other (e.g. a team should include students with good communication / organizational skills, students who are precise, endowed with analytical skills, well-versed in research work, system thinkers, etc.).
It is proposed to integrate individual company connections to implement the common purposes of teams.
Team headcount: 3 persons / project.
