Program

Semester 1

HAW - Project Seminar in Engineering
+

This module will serve as linkage along the curriculum between partners of the Master Program.
Students must develop a working group to solve a common problem, promoting self-study and critical analysis. The groups include a student from each partner country (HAW + ILIS + IPP), enabling the integration of the colleagues in the institution and the country's culture. The contents are adjustable and can address any aspect linked to engineering, under the supervision of a teacher.
In this course is intended that students develop their learning in an innovative way, shared and in close guidance with a teacher. Goals: to develop a small project in their areas of interest, promoting self-learning, work group and knowledge integration.
