Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The purpose of this module is to make the student able to communicate scientific problems in writing and orally to specialist and non-specialist, based on a selected engineering problem in one of the core topics of the master program. This is obtained by requiring that the student prepare a scientific paper in which he/she formulate and explain scientific hypotheses and results achieved through scientific work. The main contribution and conclusion of the work must then be summarized in a scientific poster and presented orally in terms of a 15 minute conference presentation.
