Development Project 1 (5 cr)

Objective

The students can assess and develop their competencies and working skills in the field of live performance engineering. They develop and use their own expertise by plannin and / or executing a personal research and development project based on development needs in an organization. The students recognize and give a rationale to the development needs and use their problem solving, co-operation and communication skills in the development process. They can report and present the research and development process and its results. The goal of the research and development project is to deepen and widen the professional expertise of the students.
