V YEAR, II SEMESTER

PAE 590 Practice (14 weeks) ECTS 21

Students are required to complete 14 weeks of exposure to professional engineering practice to graduate.

Industrial training is a great opportunity for students to learn about the industry, to establish important contacts and most

importantly, to seed the beginnings for a career in chosen profession. Students get out of industrial training what they are

willing to invest in the process.

The attendance and performance in the training will be considered as a good practice for the final year project.

PAE 500 Graduation Project ECTS 10

The Graduation Project is part of the final phase of the Bachelor’s programme.

All students are required to complete a graduation project as part of their graduation requirements.

The purpose of the graduation project is to provide students with an opportunity to engage in an activity that will allow them

to demonstrate their ability to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained throughout their years in the educational system.

The project is designed to ensure that students are able to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information and to

communicate significant knowledge and understanding.

The project is are normally graded on an A - F basis and will appear on the student’s official transcript.
