Projects

A project is necessary condition to be admitted to the exam. Typically, projects are verified a few days before the exam. The project verification date is published here.

Projects can be done in groups of, preferably, two people. Groups can define project subjects themselves. In this case, groups are required to agree the project with the lecturer in order to get sure that the project is adequate in terms of contents and effort. 

In alternative to a project, a person may deepen a topic that is inherent to the course. The topic is chosen in collaboration with the lecturer. A 20 minutes, slide-based presentation must be prepared to illustrate the topic.

For the academic year 2017-18, possible topics are:

• Security in Visual Light Communication
