Feedback from Students (2209)
Dottor
Giovanni Di Gennaro
ASP projects enable concrete experimental activity on broad and
relevant themes and problems. They are:
• system-level
• interdisciplinary
• focused on:
- problem-setting within a complex situation
- innovation (i.e. bridging technology with its applications)
- conceptual design and feasibility analysis
• require both:
- disciplinary knowledge (coming from the Laurea Magistrale
background of each student)
- interdisciplinary knowledge (coming from ASP courses)
• they are different from a Laurea Magistrale thesis.
