Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding
Knowledge of how lab problems get solved in practice; enrichment of her/his technical background. Understanding of the technical needs of practical engineering activities.
Applying knowledge and understanding.
The student applies the technical knowledge in an operational context and on real cases. She/he is invited, whenever the conditions are met, to propose modifications to the design solutions.
Making judgements.
The student is encouraged to identify the best strategy to solve hig assigned practical problem.
Communication skills.
The student has to communicate and act with his academic tutor.
