Practice-oriented:

All courses are practice-oriented in the sense that students perfect their knowledge by applying methods that they have learned in the lectures to simple and then real-world problems.

Requirements for technology and environment:

• Acquiring methodological skills

• course materials including both lectures and assignments are designed such that students understand and learn the step-by-step process of developing methodologies ultimately leading to an approach or process that can be utilized to solve a real-world problem.

• Acquiring professional skills

• Most courses involve one or multiple projects through which the students learn and apply a commercial software widely used in practice. This would give students an edge in competition for jobs as well as continuation of their studies toward PhD.
