Teaching apporach

Students work in project teams of 3 or 4 students from different disciplines. Each project group has two supervisors (a research expert and a design expert). There are weekly meetings of a team and its supervisors by appointment during the project and in addition the students attending regular seminars, workshops and tutorials. Furthermore each team organises two internal peer feedback sessions to assess the functioning and performance of the team at large as well as the functioning and performance of the individual team members.
