Course Format

During the program, some CAD tools are used to exemplify the topics discussed in the modules. The students work in teams of three members throughout all program. The assignments are based on real-life inputs and require the student team's to produce real-life outputs. That is, the students have to review diagrams, plans, specifications. And then the students have to produce calculations, drawings, simulations, etc.

The teams have the continuous support from the instructor through discussion forums and live web conferences with webcam and shared screens. This interaction has proved to be very useful for the guidance of the students.

FAQ

How will a person study in the Master?
Each module of the program lasts for two weeks. The students work in teams of three. They review the study material and try to solve a practical assignment. The students meet the instructors half-way through the 2 week period to get feedback about their work.

Will the students have access to university library?
I am afraid not.

More details about examination/evaluation procedure for each module and for the program as whole.
In each module you will always work in teams of three. You will solve a problem involving calculation and design. Then you will submit it to the instructor to be evaluated. The instructor will meet the teams in a web conference.

What kind of study materials will be shared with us?
Pdfs and videos

How will the students interact with each other and with the instructors, given the different in time zones across the countries?
There will be web conferences to allow for this interaction. Also students can send questions to the discusson forums. For the online meetings and the student teams, we will make groups with compatible time zones.
