Item #3
This module enables students to apply theoretical knowledge to a practical engineering problem, strengthening their analytical and general engineering competencies. Working in groups of up to four under a qualified tutor, students undertake independent research—formulating a problem, evaluating its technical and economic feasibility, and executing the project across the 7th and 8th semesters. The process includes proposal presentation, two progress reviews, and a final review, culminating in a comprehensive written report and professional presentation. The final report must be 6000–8000 words, excluding references, tables, table of contents, and figures (as per 57th PQC, RUB).
