Dr. Kostas Apostolou

3 unit(s)
This course is a continuation of PROCTECH 4TR1 and it requires students to conduct further research, modify/refine project design, develop and implement the independent project proposal submitted as a part of the Capstone Design Project I course. The project will be documented as a technical report and presented in a seminar.
