- examples of group projects (How are group projects related to the work field? How many projects do you have? What is the goal of the projects?)
- examples of research assignments (Why is it important to carry out applied research during your studies? What kind of research assignments do Civil Engineering and Water Management students perform?)
- examples of thesis assignments (Which companies and countries are popualr among students?
Do you still have questions afterwards? The teachers have plenty of time to answer them for you!
