Course objectiveEnabling the graduate student to study with the aims of gathering, assessing and interpreting data for the solution of specific problem regarding studied scientific field in compliance with ethical principles. 
Learning outcomes
  1. Perceiving, designing, evaluating and finishing an original process by using and following the knowledge of the recent developments in the engineering fields and managing a process.
  2. Evaluating, synthesizing and performing a critical analysis of the progress and making suggestions related to his/her professional areas.
  3. Making and implementing a comprehensive study that is a new scientific method or technological product/process, that brings innovation to science/technology, or is an application of a known method into a new field.
  4. Contributing to scientific and technological literature by publishing the outputs of academic studies in respectable academic environments.
  5. Being a leader, having initiative and taking the responsibility in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary team works.
Course ContentPhD Thesis consists of a report based on an independent piece of research to be completed following the completion of the thought courses. The thesis is based on a pre-defined set of problems and lead by a supervisor in the same academic unit. The supervision ensures that the student gets advice regarding literature, approaches towards solving the problems being dealt with, the acquisition and treatment of data, and ethical guidelines in research.
