Project (Manufactring and Testing)

1) This module is a 5 ECTS credits semester long project module in the Agricultural Engineering department. It focuses on developing students' project management, workshop, and communication skills through the completion of an individual project. 2) Students will manufacture and test a prototype, write reports on their project progress and results, and do a final presentation. They will also explore the commercialization potential of their project. 3) Assessment includes interim and final reports, a project diary, the completed prototype, and a final presentation. Students must pass both this and the prerequisite project module to avoid repeating the academic year.
