Completion option 1
Active participation in the lectures, small exam or homework (lecture diary) for each lecture/topic area, and a small final project in 2-3 person groups (e.g., literature study or simulation exercise and short presentation on this topic). For doctoral students, the scope of project is more advanced compared to MSc students and a short presentation together with a 3-4 page report following IEEE publications guidelines is required.
