Objectives

Industry technology’s laboratory environments is a learning environment enhancing students capabilities to conduct development-, design-, testing-, manufacturing- and prototyping projects. You engage to hands-on laboratory work to meet either for your own business idea or for a local or global company.

You recognize the development requirements in the organization and select the most appropriate method for reaching the goal, problem solving and scheduling. You are able to prepare a project plan related to his field, execute the project while taking into account your role in the project team and the stage in the project. You are able to justify the solutions made, to reflect your own and others performances as well as to report the project activities and the results both orally and in writing.

Investigations and information retrieval:
