Students must attend the Faculty’s seminars.
Research or project
The objective of the research towards a Master’s degree (totaling 20 credits) is to impart to the student advanced research and development methods. The objective of the project (totaling 20 credits) is to train the student in advanced engineering design methods. The research or project can develop in different ways depending on the student’s area of specialization. It can be theoretical, computational, experimental, or a combination thereof. It can deal with a general problem or a specific engineering problem.
Final dissertation
The objective of the final dissertation (totaling 12 credits) is to consolidate the knowledge acquired during the Master’s studies.
The Faculty requires all internal students (who receive a fellowship) to submit a research proposal together with his/her permanent Faculty advisor within three months after commencing graduate studies.
