Study Guide

Objective

The student is able to acquire up-to-date knowledge from his/her own technical field by getting acquainted to recent international publications and to apply that knowledge to his/her own duties. More precise learning outcomes depend on the topic of the seminar. The topic is however always linked to an engineering filed applying intelligent industrial solutions.

Content

A single student or a student group covers deeply the contents of one recent publication or a series of publications of his/her/their field of engineering. The course is completed typically by writing documents, giving seminar presentations, doing exercises and/or running projects related to the publication(s).
