Summary

Students apply the scientific and technical knowledge they have acquired during their studies to a research case study in an independent way

Content

Students are required to realize an engineering project integrating several aspects of Quantum Science and Engineering
in a broad sense. This project will allow them to apply their technical and transversal skills acquired during their studies.
The list of labs where students can search for a project is available on the web site of SIQ

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Manage a research project
  • Apply the competences to a specific subject
  • Assess / Evaluate the results critically
